explog: Exponential logarithmic distribution

Description

Computes the pdf, cdf, value at risk and expected shortfall for the exponential logarithmic distribution due to Tahmasbi and Rezaei (2008) given by $$\begin{array}{ll} &\displaystyle f(x) = -\frac {b (1 - a) \exp (-b x)}{\log a \left[ 1 - (1 - a) \exp (-b x) \right]}, \\ &\displaystyle F (x) = 1 - \frac {\log \left[ 1 - (1 - a) \exp (-b x) \right]}{\log a}, \\ &\displaystyle {\rm VaR}_p (X) = -\frac {1}{b} \log \left[ \frac {1 - a^{1 - p}}{1 - a} \right], \\ &\displaystyle {\rm ES}_p (X) = -\frac {1}{b p} \int_0^p \log \left[ \frac {1 - a^{1 - v}}{1 - a} \right] dv \end{array}$$ for \(x > 0\), \(0 < p < 1\), \(0 < a < 1\), the first scale parameter, and \(b > 0\), the second scale parameter.

Usage

dexplog(x, a=0.5, b=1, log=FALSE)
pexplog(x, a=0.5, b=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
varexplog(p, a=0.5, b=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
esexplog(p, a=0.5, b=1)

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 values at risk or expected shortfall computed at p.

Arguments

x

scaler or vector of values at which the pdf or cdf needs to be computed

p

scaler or vector of values at which the value at risk or expected shortfall needs to be computed

a

the value of the first scale parameter, must be in the unit interval, the default is 0.5

b

the value of the second scale parameter, must be positive, the default is 1

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
