ppolicy_loss: Cumaltive distribution function of the policy loss

Description

Cumulative distribution function of the policy loss

Usage

ppolicy_loss(l, mu, delta, lambda, theta, family, y.max = 20,zt=TRUE)

Arguments

l

vector at which the distribution is evaluated

mu

expectation of the Gamma distribution

delta

dispersion parameter of the Gamma distribution

lambda

parameter of the ZTP distribution

theta

copula parameter

family

an integer defining the bivariate copula family: 1 = Gauss, 3 = Clayton, 4=Gumbel, 5=Frank

y.max

upper value of the finite sum that we use to approximate the infinite sum in the density, see below for more details

zt

logical. If zt=TRUE, we use a zero-truncated Poisson variable. Otherwise, we use a Poisson variable. Default is TRUE.

Value

Details

For a Gamma distributed variable X and a (zero truncated) Possion variable Y, the policy loss is defined as $L=X\cdot Y$. Its density is an infinite sum of weighted Gamma densities. The parameter y.max is the upper value of the finite sum that approximates the infinite sum.
