Generalized Hyperbolic Distribution Moments

Description

Calculates moments of the generalized hyperbbolic distribution function

Usage

ghMean(alpha=1, beta=0, delta=1, mu=0, lambda=-1/2)
ghVar(alpha=1, beta=0, delta=1, mu=0, lambda=-1/2)
ghSkew(alpha=1, beta=0, delta=1, mu=0, lambda=-1/2)
ghKurt(alpha=1, beta=0, delta=1, mu=0, lambda=-1/2)

ghMoments(order, type = c("raw", "central", "mu"),
    alpha = 1, beta=0, delta=1, mu=0, lambda=-1/2)

Arguments

alpha, beta, delta, mu, lambda

numeric values. alpha is the first shape parameter; beta is the second shape parameter in the range (0, alpha); delta is the scale parameter, must be zero or positive; mu is the location parameter, by default 0; and lambda defines the sublclass, by default -1/2.

order

an integer value, the order of the moment.

type

a character value, "raw" returns the moments about zero, "central" returns the central moments about the mean, and "mu" returns the moments about the location parameter mu.

Value

a numerical value.
