Computes the mode of the generalized hyperbolic Student-t distribution.
ghtMode(beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10)returns the mode for the generalized hyperbolic Student-t distribution. A numeric value.
numeric values.
beta is the skewness parameter in the range (0, alpha);
delta is the scale parameter, must be zero or positive;
mu is the location parameter, by default 0.
These are the parameters in the first parameterization.
a numeric value, the number of degrees of freedom.
Note, alpha takes the limit of abs(beta),
and lambda=-nu/2.
