kcpm: Kernel of Imprecise Probability Measure Formulated By Bickis and Lee

Description

Imprecise probability density function proposed by Bickis and Lee (2014) is defined. See Details.

Usage

kcpm(t, xi2, xi1, xi0, log = FALSE)

kcpm_m(m, xi2, xi1, xi0, log = FALSE)

kcpm.ztrunc(m, xi2, xi1, xi0, ny, log = FALSE)

kcpm.ztrunc_t(t, xi2, xi1, xi0, ny, log = TRUE)

Arguments

t
random variable
xi2
parameter associated with precision
xi1
parameter associated with linear combination
xi0
parameter associated with effective sample size
log
logical; if TRUE (default), a returned value is given in logarithm scale.
m
random variable
ny
number of observations

Details

The formal definition of Bickis and Lee's conjugate formulation is $$e^(-\xi_2\theta^2 + \xi_1\theta - \xi_0\exp(\theta))$$ $\theta$ is ranged from -Inf to Inf.
