Arguments

x, y

vector of quantiles.

alpha

shape parameter.

beta

scale parameter.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

init_param

initial paremeter values for the estimation method.

true_param

true parameter values.

method

estimation method. The default value for the method is "MLE".

init_index

initial index value for the optimization calculation.

empirical

empirical must be TRUE or FALSE.

alpha1

shape parameter of distribution of first sample.

beta1

scale parameter of distribution of first sample.

alpha2

shape parameter of distribution of second sample.

beta2

scale parameter of distribution of second sample.

Details

The probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) are as follows:

f\left( x;\boldsymbol{\theta }\right) =\frac{\alpha \beta ^{2}}{ \beta +1}\left( 1+x^{\alpha} \right) x^{\alpha -1}\exp \left( -\beta x^{\alpha }\right)

=zg_{1}\left( t\right) +\left( 1-z\right) g_{2}\left( t\right),

F\left( x;\boldsymbol{\theta }\right) =P\left( X\leq x\right) =1- \left( 1+zx^{\alpha } \right) \exp \left( -\beta x^{\alpha }\right),

and quantile function is given by

Q\left( u;\boldsymbol{\theta }\right) =F^{-1}\left( u; \boldsymbol{\theta }\right) =\left\{ -\frac{W\left( \left( 1+\beta \right) \left( -1+u\right) \exp \left( -\left( 1+\beta \right) \right) \right) +1+\beta } {\beta }\right\} ^{\frac{1}{\alpha }},

where

z =\frac{\beta }{\beta +1},

g_{1}\left( x\right) =\alpha \beta x^{\alpha -1}\exp \left( -\beta x^{\alpha }\right),

g_{2}\left( x\right) =\alpha \beta ^{2}x^{2\alpha -1}\exp \left(-\beta x^{\alpha }\right),

\boldsymbol{\theta =}\left( \alpha ,\beta \right) , 0<u<1, \alpha>0 is a shape parameter, \beta>0 is a scale parameter and W(•) is Lambert W function.

Additionally, the estimation methods Anderson-Darling "AD", Cramér-von Mises "CvM", least squares "LS" and weighted least squares "WLS" as well as the "TRUE" option for the true value, are available. Please note that the default value for the method parameter is maximum likelihood "ML" estimation.

The cut-off point values corresponding to Youden's J index (J), the criterion closest to (0, 1) (ER), the concordance probability method (CZ), and the newly proposed Ertan-Coskun index (EC) are provided.
