WeibullMoments: Raw and Limited Moments of the Weibull Distribution

Description

Raw moments and limited moments for the Weibull distribution with parameters shape and scale.

Usage

mweibull(order, shape, scale = 1)
levweibull(limit, shape, scale = 1, order = 1)

Arguments

order

order of the moment.

limit

limit of the loss variable.

shape, scale

shape and scale parameters, the latter defaulting to 1.

Value

• mweibull gives the $k$th raw moment and levweibull gives the $k$th moment of the limited loss variable.

  Invalid arguments will result in return value NaN, with a warning.

Details

The $k$th raw moment of the random variable $X$ is $E[X^k]$ and the $k$th limited moment at some limit $d$ is $E[\min(X, d)^k]$.
