dggamma: Generalized gamma distribution.

Description

Generalized gamma distribution

Usage

dggamma(x, theta, kappa, delta, log = FALSE)
pggamma(q, theta, kappa, delta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qggamma(p, theta, kappa, delta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rggamma(n, theta, kappa, delta)

Value

dggamma gives the density, pggamma gives the distribution function, qggamma gives the quantile function, and rggamma generates random deviates.

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

theta

scale parameter.

kappa

shape parameter.

delta

shape parameter.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x] otherwise, P[X > x].

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations.

Functions

• dggamma(): Density of the generalized gamma.

• pggamma(): Distribution function of the generalized gamma.

• qggamma(): Quantile of the generalized gamma.

• rggamma(): Random of the generalized gamma.

More details here

The generalized gamma is described here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_gamma_distribution.
With a being theta, b being kappa, and p being delta.
theta, kappa and delta must be all > 0.

Details

pggamma, qggamma, dggamma, and rggamma are used to model the generalized gamma distribution.
