IGAMMA: Inverse Gamma distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

Description

The function IGAMMA() defines the Inverse Gamma distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(), with parameters mu (the mode) and sigma. The functions dIGAMMA, pIGAMMA, qIGAMMA and rIGAMMA define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the IGAMMA parameterization of the Inverse Gamma distribution.

Usage

IGAMMA(mu.link = "log", sigma.link="log")
dIGAMMA(x, mu = 1, sigma = .5, log = FALSE)
pIGAMMA(q, mu = 1, sigma = .5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qIGAMMA(p, mu = 1, sigma = .5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rIGAMMA(n, mu = 1, sigma = .5)

Arguments

mu.link

Defines the mu.link, with log link as the default for the mu parameter

sigma.link

Defines the sigma.link, with log as the default for the sigma parameter

x, q

vector of quantiles

mu

vector of location parameter values

sigma

vector of scale parameter values

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p)

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x],="" otherwise="" p[x=""> x]

p

vector of probabilities

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required

Value

• returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit an Inverse Gamma distribution in the gamlss() function.

Details

The parameterization of the Inverse Gamma distribution in the function IGA is $$f(y|\mu, \sigma) = \frac{\left[\mu\,(\alpha+1)\right]^{\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)} \,y^{-(\alpha+1)}\, \exp{\left[-\frac{\mu\,(\alpha+1)}{y}\right]}$$ where $alpha = 1/(sigma^2)$ for $y>0$, $mu>0$ and $sigma>0$.
