genray: The Generalized Rayleigh Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the generalized Rayleigh distribution.

Usage

dgenray(x, scale = 1, shape, log = FALSE)
pgenray(q, scale = 1, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qgenray(p, scale = 1, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rgenray(n, scale = 1, shape)

Value

dgenray gives the density,

pgenray gives the distribution function,

qgenray gives the quantile function, and

rgenray generates random deviates.

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1 then the length is taken to be the number required.

scale, shape

positive scale and shape parameters.

log

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

lower.tail, log.p

Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.
