CExpNB distribution {ComRiskModel}

Complementary exponential negative binomial distribution

Description

Evaluates the PDF, CDF, QF, random numbers and MLEs based on the complementary exponential negative binomial (CExpNB) distribution. The CDF of the complementary G binomial distribution is as follows:

F(x)=\frac{\left(1-\lambda G(x)\right)^{-s}-1}{(1-\lambda)^{-s}-1};\qquad\lambda\in\left(0,1\right),s>0,

where G(x) represents the baseline exponential CDF, it is given by

G(x)=1-\exp(-\alpha x);\qquad\alpha>0.

By setting G(x) in the above Equation, yields the CDF of the CExpNB distribution.

Usage

dCExpNB(x, alpha, s, lambda, log = FALSE)
pCExpNB(x, alpha, s, lambda, log.p = FALSE, lower.tail = TRUE)
qCExpNB(p, alpha, s, lambda, log.p = FALSE, lower.tail = TRUE)
rCExpNB(n, alpha, s, lambda)
mCExpNB(x, alpha, s, lambda, method="B")

Arguments

x

A vector of (non-negative integer) values.

p

A vector of probablities.

n

The number of random values to be generated under the CExpBio distribution.

lambda

The strictly positive parameter of the negative binomial distribution \lambda \in (0,1).

s

The positive parameter of the negative binomial distribution s > 0.

alpha

The strictly positive scale parameter of the baseline exponential distribution (\alpha > 0).

lower.tail

if FALSE then 1-F(x) are returned and quantiles are computed 1-p.

log

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

log.p

if TRUE, probabilities p are given for exp(p).

method

the procedure for optimizing the log-likelihood function after setting the intial values of the parameters and data values for which the CExpNB distribution is fitted. It could be "Nelder-Mead", "BFGS", "CG", "L-BFGS-B", or "SANN". "BFGS" is set as the default.

Details

These functions allow for the evaluation of the PDF, CDF, QF, random numbers and MLEs of the unknown parameters with the standard error (SE) of the estimates of the CExpNB distribution. Additionally, it offers goodness-of-fit statistics such as the AIC, BIC, -2L, A test, W test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, P-value, and convergence status.

Value

dCExpNB gives the (log) probability function. pCExpNB gives the (log) distribution function. qCExpNB gives the quantile function. rCExpNB generates random values.
