This function computes the cumulative probability or nonexceedance probability of the Polynomial Density-Quantile4 (PDQ4) distribution given parameters (\(\xi\), \(\alpha\), \(\kappa\)) computed by parpdq4
. The cumulative distribution function has no explicit form and requires numerical methods. The R function uniroot()
is used to root the quantile function quapdq4
to compute the nonexceedance probability. The distribution's canonical definition is in terms of the quantile function (quapdq4
).
cdfpdq4(x, para, paracheck=TRUE)
Nonexceedance probability (\(F\)) for \(x\).
A real value vector.
The parameters from parpdq4
or vec2par
.
A logical switch as to whether the validity of the parameters should be checked. Default is paracheck=TRUE
. This switch is made so that the root solution needed for cdfpdq4
shows an extreme speed increase because of the repeated calls to quapdq4
.
