vgCheckPars: Check Parameters of the Variance Gamma Distribution

Description

Given a putative set of parameters for the variance gamma distribution, the functions checks if the parameters are in the correct range, and if the set has the correct length of 4.

Usage

vgCheckPars(param, ...)

Value

A list with components:

case

Whichever of 'error' or 'normal' is identified by the function.

errMessage

An appropriate error message if an error was found, the empty string "" otherwise.

Arguments

param

Numeric. Putative parameter values for a Variance Gamma distribution.

...

Further arguments for calls to all.equal.

Author

Details

The vector param takes the form c(c, sigma, theta, nu). If either sigma or nu is negative, then an error message is returned.

If the vector param has a length not equal to 4, then an error message is returned.
