Gompertz: Gompertz Distribution

Description

Density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Gompertz distribution.

Usage

dgompertz(x, scale = 1, shape, log = FALSE)
pgompertz(q, scale = 1, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qgompertz(p, scale = 1, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rgompertz(n, scale = 1, shape)

Value

dgompertz gives the density,

pgompertz gives the cumulative distribution function,

qgompertz gives the quantile function, and

rgompertz generates random deviates.

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. Same as in runif.

log

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

lower.tail, log.p

Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.

scale, shape

positive scale and shape parameters.

Examples

probs <- seq(0.01, 0.99, by = 0.01)
Shape <- exp(1); Scale <- exp(1)
max(abs(pgompertz(qgompertz(p = probs, Scale, shape = Shape),
                  Scale, shape = Shape) - probs))  # Should be 0

if (FALSE)  x <- seq(-0.1, 1.0, by = 0.001)
plot(x, dgompertz(x, Scale,shape = Shape), type = "l", las = 1,
     main = "Blue is density, orange is the CDF", col = "blue",
     sub = "Purple lines are the 10,20,...,90 percentiles",
     ylab = "")
abline(h = 0, col = "blue", lty = 2)
lines(x, pgompertz(x, Scale, shape = Shape), col = "orange")
probs <- seq(0.1, 0.9, by = 0.1)
Q <- qgompertz(probs, Scale, shape = Shape)
lines(Q, dgompertz(Q, Scale, shape = Shape), col = "purple",
      lty = 3, type = "h")
pgompertz(Q, Scale, shape = Shape) - probs  # Should be all zero
abline(h = probs, col = "purple", lty = 3)
