UNU.RAN object for Gumbel distribution

Description

Create UNU.RAN object for a Gumbel (Extreme value type I) distribution location parameter location and scale parameter scale.

[Distribution] – Gumbel (Extreme value type I).

Usage

udgumbel(location=0, scale=1, lb=-Inf, ub=Inf)

Arguments

location

location parameter.

scale

(strictly positive) scale parameter.

lb

lower bound of (truncated) distribution.

ub

upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Details

The Gumbel distribution function with location ll and scale ss is

F(x)=exp(exp(xls)) F(x) = \exp(-\exp(-\frac{x-l}{s}))

for all xx.

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Value

An object of class "unuran.cont".

Examples

## Create distribution object for Gumbel distribution
distr <- udgumbel()
## Generate generator object; use method PINV (inversion)
gen <- pinvd.new(distr)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
