dpolicy_loss: Density of the policy loss

Description

Density of the policy loss

Usage

dpolicy_loss(l, mu, delta, lambda, theta, family, y.max = 300,zt=TRUE)

Arguments

l

vector at which the density is evaluated

mu

expectation of the Gamma distribution

delta

dispersion parameter of the Gamma distribution

lambda

parameter of the (zero-truncated) Poisson 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, see below for 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.
