Kumaraswamy distribution: Compute the distributional properties of the Kumaraswamy 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 Kumaraswamy distribution.

Usage

d_kum(alpha, beta)

Value

d_kum gives the first four ordinary moments, central moments, mean, variance, Pearson's coefficient of skewness, kurtosis, coefficient of variation, median and quartile deviation at some parametric values based on the Kumaraswamy distribution.

Arguments

alpha

The strictly positive parameter of the Kumaraswamy distribution (\(\alpha > 0\)).

beta

The strictly positive parameter of the Kumaraswamy distribution (\(\beta > 0\)).

Details

The following is the probability density function of the Kumaraswamy distribution: $$ f(x)=\alpha\beta x^{\alpha-1}\left(1-x^{a}\right)^{\beta-1}, $$ where \(0\leq x\leq1\), \(\alpha > 0\) and \(\beta > 0\).
