Inverse-gamma distribution: Compute the distributional properties of the inverse-gamma distribution

Description

Compute the first four ordinary moments, central moments, mean, and variance, Pearson's coefficient of skewness and kurtosis, coefficient of variation, median and quartile deviation based on the selected parametric values of the inverse-gamma distribution.

Usage

d_ingam(alpha, beta)

Value

d_ingam gives the first four ordinary moments, central moments, mean, and variance, Pearson's coefficient of skewness and kurtosis, coefficient of variation, median and quartile deviation based on the selected parametric values of the inverse-gamma distribution.

Arguments

alpha

The strictly positive parameter of the inverse-gamma distribution (\(\alpha > 0\)).

beta

The strictly positive parameter of the inverse-gamma distribution (\(\beta > 0\)).

Details

The following is the probability density function of the inverse-gamma distribution: $$ f(x)=\frac{\beta^{\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)}x^{-\alpha-1}e^{-\frac{\beta}{x}}, $$ where \(x > 0\), \(\alpha > 0\) and \(\beta > 0\).
