LogisticLocationScaleFamily: Generating function for Logistic location and scale families

Description

Generates an object of class "L2LocationScaleFamily" which represents a normal location and scale family.

Usage

LogisticLocationScaleFamily(location = 0, scale = 1, trafo)
LOGISTINT2

Value

Object of class "L2LocationScaleFamily"

Arguments

location

location

scale

scale

trafo

function in param or matrix: transformation of the parameter

Author

Peter Ruckdeschel

Details

The slots of the corresponding L2 differentiable parameteric family are filled. LOGISTINT2 is a constant used for the scale part of the Fisher information. More precisely LOGISTINT2 equals to \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} (\tanh(x/2)\,x-1)^2\,{\rm dlogis}(x)\,dx\).
