Computes expectiles for a given ditribution
expp(spec, alpha, a, b, ...)
a character string specifying the distribution (for example, "norm" corresponds to the standard normal)
the probabilities associated with expectiles
the lower end point of the distribution specified by spec
the upper end point of the distribution specified by spec
other parameters
An object of the same length as alpha
, giving expectiles computed.
