Overview of the family of distributions

Description

The cdfquantreg family consists of the currently available distributions that can be used to fit quantile regression models via the cdfquantreg() function.

Usage

cdfqrFamily(shape = "all")

Arguments

shape

To show all distributions or the set of distribution for a specific type of shape. Can be BM, TM,LL or FT for Bimodal, Trimodal, Logit-logistic or Finite-tailed shapes, respectively.

Details

The cdfquantreg package includes a two-parameter family of distributions for modeling random variables on the (0, 1) interval by applying the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of one “parent” distribution to the quantile function of another.
The naming of these distributions is “parent - child” or “fd - sd”, where “fd” is the parent distribution, and “sd” is the child distribution.
The distributions have four characteristic shapes: Logit-logistic, bimodal, trimodal, and finite-tailed. Here is the list of currently available distributions.

Bimodal Shape Distributions
