nigMode: Normal Inverse Gaussian Mode

Description

Computes the mode of the norm inverse Gaussian distribution.

Usage

nigMode(alpha = 1, beta = 0, delta = 1, mu = 0)

Value

a numeric value, the mode of the normal inverse Gaussian distribution

Arguments

alpha

shape parameter.

beta

skewness parameter beta, abs(beta) is in the range (0, alpha).

delta

scale parameter, must be zero or positive.

mu

location parameter, by default 0.
