LOGITNO: Logit Normal distribution for fitting in GAMLSS

Description

The functions dLOGITNO, pLOGITNO, qLOGITNO and rLOGITNO define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the logit-normal distribution. The function LOGITNO can be used for fitting the distribution in gamlss().

Usage

LOGITNO(mu.link = "logit", sigma.link = "log")
dLOGITNO(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)
pLOGITNO(q, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qLOGITNO(p, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rLOGITNO(n, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1)

Arguments

mu.link

the link function for mu

sigma.link

the link function for sigma

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

• LOGITNO() returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a logit-normal distribution in the gamlss() function.

Details

The probability density function in LOGITNO is defined as $$f(y|\mu,\sigma)=\frac{1}{y (1-y) \sqrt{2\pi}\sigma} \exp [-\frac{1}{2 \sigma^2}(log(y/(1-y))-log(\mu/(1-\mu))^2 ]$$ for $01$, $\mu=(0, 1$ and $\sigma>0$.
