charRDTS {TempStable}R Documentation

Characteristic function of the rapidly decreasing tempered stable (RDTS) distribution

Description

Theoretical characteristic function (CF) of the rapidly decreasing tempered stable distribution.

Usage

charRDTS(
  t,
  alpha = NULL,
  delta = NULL,
  lambdap = NULL,
  lambdam = NULL,
  mu = NULL,
  theta = NULL
)

Arguments

t

A vector of real numbers where the CF is evaluated.

alpha

Stability parameter. A real number between 0 and 2.

delta

Scale parameter. A real number > 0.

lambdap, lambdam

Tempering parameter. A real number > 0.

mu

A location parameter, any real number.

theta

Parameters stacked as a vector.

Details

The CF of the RDTS distribution is given by (Rachev et al. (2011)):

\varphi_{RDTS}(t;\theta):= E_{\theta}\left[\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}tX}\right]= \exp\left(\mathrm{i}t\mu+\delta(G(\mathrm{i}t;\alpha,\lambda_+) +G(-\mathrm{i}t;\alpha,\lambda_-))\right),

where

G\left(x;\alpha,r,\lambda\right)= 2^{-\frac{\alpha}{2}-1}\lambda^\alpha\Gamma\left(-\frac{\alpha}{2}\right) \left(M\left(-\frac{\alpha}{2},\frac{1}{2};\frac{x^2}{2\lambda^2}\right) -1\right)\\

+2^{-\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}\lambda^{\alpha-1}x \Gamma\left(\frac{1-\alpha}{2}\right) \left(M\left(\frac{1-\alpha}{2},\frac{3}{2};\frac{x^2}{2\lambda^2}\right) -1\right).

M stands for the confluent hypergeometric function.

Value

The CF of the the rapidly decreasing tempered stable distribution.
