VGAM (version 0.8-2)

Card: Cardioid Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the cardioid distribution.

Usage

dcard(x, mu, rho, log=FALSE)
pcard(q, mu, rho)
qcard(p, mu, rho, tolerance = 1e-07, maxits = 500)
rcard(n, mu, rho, ...)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. Must be a single positive integer.

mu, rho

See cardioid for more information.

tolerance, maxits, ...

The first two are control parameters for the algorithm used to solve for the roots of a nonlinear system of equations; tolerance controls for the accuracy and maxits is the maximum number of iterations. rcard

log

Logical. If log=TRUE then the logarithm of the density is returned.

Value

• dcard gives the density, pcard gives the distribution function, qcard gives the quantile function, and rcard generates random deviates.

Details

See cardioid, the VGAM family function for estimating the two parameters by maximum likelihood estimation, for the formula of the probability density function and other details.

Examples

mu = 4; rho = 0.4
x = seq(0, 2*pi, len=501)
plot(x, dcard(x, mu, rho), type="l", las=1, ylim=c(0,1), col="blue",
     ylab=paste("[dp]card(mu=", mu, ", rho=", rho, ")"),
     main="Blue is density, red is cumulative distribution function",
     sub="Purple lines are the 10,20,...,90 percentiles")
lines(x, pcard(x, mu, rho), col="red")

probs = seq(0.1, 0.9, by=0.1)
Q = qcard(probs, mu, rho)
lines(Q, dcard(Q, mu, rho), col="purple", lty=3, type="h")
lines(Q, pcard(Q, mu, rho), col="purple", lty=3, type="h")
abline(h=c(0,probs,1), v=c(0,2*pi), col="purple", lty=3)
max(abs(pcard(Q, mu, rho) - probs)) # Should be 0
