cdfgum: Gumbel (extreme-value type I) distribution

Description

Distribution function and quantile function of the Gumbel distribution.

Usage

cdfgum(x, para = c(0, 1))
quagum(f, para = c(0, 1))

Value

cdfgum gives the distribution function;

quagum gives the quantile function.

Arguments

x

Vector of quantiles.

f

Vector of probabilities.

para

Numeric vector containing the parameters of the distribution, in the order \(\xi, \alpha\) (location, scale).

Details

The Gumbel distribution with location parameter \(\xi\) and scale parameter \(\alpha\) has distribution function $$F(x)=\exp[-\exp\lbrace-(x-\xi)/\alpha\rbrace]$$ and quantile function $$x(F)=\xi-\alpha\log(-\log F).$$

See Also

cdfgev for the generalized extreme-value distribution, which generalizes the Gumbel distribution.

Examples

Run this code
# Random sample from the Gumbel distribution with parameters xi=0, alpha=3.
