Generalized Hyperbolic Student-t

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the hyperbolic distribution.

Usage

dght(x, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10, log = FALSE)
pght(q, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10)
qght(p, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10)
rght(n, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10)

Arguments

beta, delta, mu

numeric values. beta is the skewness parameter in the range (0, alpha); delta is the scale parameter, must be zero or positive; mu is the location parameter, by default 0. These are the parameters in the first parameterization.

nu

a numeric value, the number of degrees of freedom. Note, alpha takes the limit of abs(beta), and lambda=-nu/2.

x, q

a numeric vector of quantiles.

p

a numeric vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations.

log

a logical, if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Value

All values for the *ght functions are numeric vectors: d* returns the density, p* returns the distribution function, q* returns the quantile function, and r* generates random deviates.

All values have attributes named "param" listing the values of the distributional parameters.
