beg: Beta Extended G Distribution

Description

Computes the pdf, cdf, quantile and random numbers of the beta extended distribution due to Cordeiro et al. (2012) specified by the pdf $$f (x) = \frac {\displaystyle \alpha g (x)}{\displaystyle B (a, b)} \left{ 1 - \exp \left[ -\alpha G (x) \right] \right}^{a - 1} \exp \left[ -\alpha b G (x) \right]$$ for $G$ any valid cdf, $g$ the corresponding pdf, $\alpha > 0$, the scale parameter, $a > 0$, the first shape parameter, and $b > 0$, the second shape parameter. Also computes the Cramer-von Misses statistic, Anderson Darling statistic, Kolmogorov Smirnov test statistic and p-value, maximum likelihood estimates, Akaike Information Criterion, Consistent Akaikes Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, Hannan-Quinn information criterion, standard errors of the maximum likelihood estimates, minimum value of the negative log-likelihood function and convergence status when the distribution is fitted to some data

Usage

dbeg(x, spec, alpha = 1, a = 1, b = 1, log = FALSE, ...)
pbeg(x, spec, alpha = 1, a = 1, b = 1, log.p = FALSE, lower.tail = TRUE, ...)
qbeg(p, spec, alpha = 1, a = 1, b = 1, log.p = FALSE, lower.tail = TRUE, ...)
rbeg(n, spec, alpha = 1, a = 1, b = 1, ...)
mbeg(g, data, starts, method = "BFGS")

Arguments

x
scaler or vector of values at which the pdf or cdf needs to be computed
p
scaler or vector of probabilities at which the quantile needs to be computed, must be between 0 and 1 - exp(-alpha)
n
number of random numbers to be generated
alpha
the value of the scale parameter, must be positive, the default is 1
a
the value of the first shape parameter, must be positive, the default is 1
b
the value of the second shape parameter, must be positive, the default is 1
spec
a character string specifying the distribution of G and g (for example, "norm" if G and g correspond to the standard normal).
log
if TRUE then log(pdf) are returned
log.p
if TRUE then log(cdf) are returned and quantiles are computed for exp(p)
lower.tail
if FALSE then 1-cdf are returned and quantiles are computed for 1-p
...
other parameters
g
same as spec but must be one of chisquare ("chisq"), exponential ("exp"), F ("f"), gamma ("gamma"), lognormal ("lognormal"), Weibull ("weibull"), Burr XII ("burrxii"), Chen ("chen"), Frechet ("frechet"), Gompertz ("gompertz"), linear failure rate ("lfr"),
data
a vector of data values for which the distribution is to be fitted
starts
initial values of (alpha, a, b, r) if g has one parameter or initial values of (alpha, a, b, r, s) if g has two parameters
method
the method for optimizing the log likelihood function. It can be one of "Nelder-Mead", "BFGS", "CG", "L-BFGS-B" or "SANN". The default is "BFGS". The details of these methods

Value

  • An object of the same length as x, giving the pdf or cdf values computed at x or an object of the same length as p, giving the quantile values computed at p or an object of the same length as n, giving the random numbers generated or an object giving the values of Cramer-von Misses statistic, Anderson Darling statistic, Kolmogorov Smirnov test statistic and p-value, maximum likelihood estimates, Akaike Information Criterion, Consistent Akaikes Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, Hannan-Quinn information criterion, standard errors of the maximum likelihood estimates, minimum value of the negative log-likelihood function and convergence status.
