Detailed Description

THIS CLASS HAS BEEN RENAMED InverseGammaDist .

Extends the class ContinuousDistribution for the Pearson type V distribution with shape parameter \(\alpha> 0\) and scale parameter \(\beta> 0\). The density function is given by

\[ f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle\frac{\beta^{\alpha}e^{-\beta/ x}}{x^{\alpha+ 1} \Gamma(\alpha)} & \quad\mbox{for } x > 0 \\ 0 & \quad\mbox{otherwise,} \end{array} \right. \tag{fpearson5} \]

where \(\Gamma\) is the gamma function. The distribution function is given by

\[ F(x) = 1 - F_G\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \qquad\mbox{for } x > 0, \tag{Fpearson5} \]

and \(F(x) = 0\) otherwise, where \(F_G(x)\) is the distribution function of a gamma distribution with shape parameter \(\alpha\) and scale parameter \(\beta\).

◆ Pearson5Dist()

Pearson5Dist	(	double	alpha,
		double	beta
	)

THIS CLASS HAS BEEN RENAMED InverseGammaDist .

Constructs a Pearson5Dist object with parameters \(\alpha\) = alpha and \(\beta\) = beta.

Member Function Documentation

◆ barF()

double barF ( double x )

Returns \(\bar{F}(x) = 1 - F(x)\).

Parameters

x	value at which the complementary distribution function is evaluated

Returns: complementary distribution function evaluated at x

Implements Distribution.

◆ cdf()

double cdf ( double x )

Returns the distribution function \(F(x)\).

Parameters

x	value at which the distribution function is evaluated

Returns: distribution function evaluated at x

Implements Distribution.

◆ getInstanceFromMLE()

static Pearson5Dist getInstanceFromMLE	(	double []	x,
		int	n
	)

static

Creates a new instance of a Pearson V distribution with parameters \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) estimated using the maximum likelihood method based on the \(n\) observations \(x[i]\), \(i = 0, 1, …, n-1\).

Parameters

x	the list of observations to use to evaluate parameters
n	the number of observations to use to evaluate parameters

◆ getMLE()

static double [] getMLE	(	double []	x,
		int	n
	)

static

Estimates the parameters \((\alpha,\beta)\) of the Pearson V distribution using the maximum likelihood method, from the \(n\) observations \(x[i]\), \(i = 0, 1,…, n-1\).

The estimates are returned in a two-element array, in regular order: [ \(\alpha\), \(\beta\)]. The equations of the maximum likelihood are the same as the equations of the gamma distribution, with the sample \(y_i = 1/x_i\).

Parameters

x	the list of observations to use to evaluate parameters
n	the number of observations to use to evaluate parameters

Returns: returns the parameters [ \(\hat{\alpha}, \hat{\beta}\)]

◆ getParams()

double [] getParams ( )

Return a table containing the parameters of the current distribution.

This table is put in regular order: [ \(\alpha\), \(\beta\)].

Implements Distribution.

◆ inverseF()

double inverseF ( double u )

Returns the inverse distribution function \(F^{-1}(u)\), defined in ( inverseF ).

Parameters

u	value in the interval \((0,1)\) for which the inverse distribution function is evaluated

Returns: the inverse distribution function evaluated at u

Implements Distribution.
