Hzeta: Haight's Zeta Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for Haight's zeta distribution with parameter shape.

Usage

dhzeta(x, shape, log = FALSE)
phzeta(q, shape, log.p = FALSE)
qhzeta(p, shape)
rhzeta(n, shape)

Arguments

x, q, p, n

Same meaning as runif.

shape

The positive shape parameter. Called \(\alpha\) below.

log,log.p

Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.

Value

dhzeta gives the density, phzeta gives the distribution function, qhzeta gives the quantile function, and rhzeta generates random deviates.

Details

The probability function is $$f(x) = (2x-1)^{(-\alpha)} - (2x+1)^{(-\alpha)},$$ where \(\alpha>0\) and \(x=1,2,\ldots\).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
dhzeta(1:20, 2.1)
rhzeta(20, 2.1)

round(1000 * dhzeta(1:8, 2))
table(rhzeta(1000, 2))

# }
# NOT RUN {
 shape <- 1.1; x <- 1:10
plot(x, dhzeta(x, shape = shape), type = "h", ylim = 0:1, lwd = 2,
     sub = paste("shape =", shape), las = 1, col = "blue", ylab = "Probability",
     main = "Haight's zeta: blue = density; orange = distribution function")
lines(x+0.1, phzeta(x, shape = shape), col = "orange", lty = 3, lwd = 2,
      type = "h")
