Burr coefficients after power-law transformation
Description
Coefficients of a power-law transformed Burr distribution
Usage
burr_plt(shape1 = 2, shape2 = 1, scale = 0.5, a = 1, b = 1, inv = FALSE)
Arguments
shape1, shape2, scale |
Shape1, shape2 and scale of the Burr distribution, defaults to 2, 1 and 1 respectively. |
a, b |
constant and power of power-law transformation, defaults to 1 and 1 respectively. |
inv |
logical indicating whether coefficients of the outcome variable of the power-law transformation should be returned (FALSE) or whether coefficients of the input variable being power-law transformed should be returned (TRUE). Defaults to FALSE. |
Details
If the random variable x is Burr distributed with scale shape and shape scale, then the power-law transformed variable
y = ax^b
is Burr distributed with shape1 shape1, shape2 b*shape2 and scale ( \frac{scale}{a})^{\frac{1}{b}} .
Value
Returns a named list containing
- coefficients
Named vector of coefficients
