This function computes the quantiles of the Gamma distribution given
parameters (\(\alpha\) and \(\beta\)) computed by pargam
. The quantile function has no explicit form. See the qgamma
function of R and cdfgam
. The parameters have the following interpretations: \(\alpha\) is a shape parameter and \(\beta\) is a scale parameter in the R syntax of the qgamma()
function.
Alternatively, a three-parameter version is available following the parameterization of the Generalized Gamma distribution used in the gamlss.dist package and for lmomco is documented under pdfgam
. The three parameter version is automatically triggered if the length of the para
element is three and not two.
quagam(f, para, paracheck=TRUE)
Quantile value for nonexceedance probability \(F\).
Nonexceedance probability (\(0 \le F \le 1\)).
The parameters from pargam
or vec2par
.
A logical controlling whether the parameters are checked for validity. Overriding of this check might be extremely important and needed for use of the quantile function in the context of TL-moments with nonzero trimming.
