Detailed Description

Extends the class ContinuousDistribution for the Fréchet distribution [96]  (page 3), with location parameter.

\(\delta\), scale parameter \(\beta> 0\), and shape parameter \(\alpha> 0\), where we use the notation \(z = (x-\delta)/\beta\). It has density

\[ f (x) = \frac{\alpha e^{-z^{-\alpha}}}{\beta z^{\alpha+1}}, \qquad\mbox{for } x > \delta \]

and distribution function

\[ F(x) = e^{-z^{-\alpha}}, \qquad\mbox{for } x > \delta. \]

Both the density and the distribution are 0 for \(x \le\delta\).

The mean is given by

\[ E[X] = \delta+ \beta\Gamma\!\left(1 - \frac{1}{\alpha}\right), \]

where \(\Gamma(x)\) is the gamma function. The variance is

\[ \mbox{Var}[X] = \beta^2 \left[\Gamma\!\left(1 - \frac{2}{\alpha}\right) - \Gamma^2\!\left(1 - \frac{1}{\alpha}\right)\right]. \]
