momentsTMD {MomTrunc}

Moments for doubly truncated multivariate distributions

Description

It computes kappa-th order moments for for some doubly truncated skew-elliptical distributions. It supports the p-variate Normal, Skew-normal (SN) and Extended Skew-normal (ESN), as well as the Student's-t, Skew-t (ST) and the Extended Skew-t (EST) distribution.

Usage

momentsTMD(kappa,lower = rep(-Inf,length(mu)),upper = rep(Inf,length(mu)),mu,Sigma,
lambda = NULL,tau = NULL,nu = NULL,dist)

Arguments

kappa

moments vector of length p. All its elements must be integers greater or equal to 0. For the Student's-t case, kappa can be a scalar representing the order of the moment.

lower

the vector of lower limits of length p.

upper

the vector of upper limits of length p.

mu

a numeric vector of length p representing the location parameter.

Sigma

a numeric positive definite matrix with dimension pxp representing the scale parameter.

lambda

a numeric vector of length p representing the skewness parameter for SN and ESN cases. If lambda == 0, the ESN/SN reduces to a normal (symmetric) distribution.

tau

It represents the extension parameter for the ESN distribution. If tau == 0, the ESN reduces to a SN distribution.

nu

It represents the degrees of freedom for the Student's t-distribution being a positive real number.

dist

represents the truncated distribution to be used. The values are normal, SN and ESN for the doubly truncated Normal, Skew-normal and Extended Skew-normal distributions and, t, ST and EST for the for the doubly truncated Student-t, Skew-t and Extended Skew-t distributions.

Details

Univariate case is also considered, where Sigma will be the variance \sigma^2.

Value

A data frame containing p+1 columns. The p first containing the set of combinations of exponents summing up to kappa and the last column containing the the expected value. Normal cases (ESN, SN and normal) return prod(kappa)+1 moments while the Student's t-distribution case returns all moments of order up to kappa. See example section.

Note

If nu >= 300, Normal case is considered."
