rightparetolognormal_plt {distributionsrd}

Right-Pareto Lognormal coefficients of power-law transformed Right-Pareto Lognormal

Description

Coefficients of a power-law transformed Right-Pareto Lognormal distribution

Usage

rightparetolognormal_plt(
  shape2 = 1.5,
  meanlog = -0.5,
  sdlog = 0.5,
  a = 1,
  b = 1,
  inv = FALSE
)

Arguments

shape2, meanlog, sdlog

Shapes, mean and variance of the Right-Pareto Lognormal distribution 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 y is Right-Pareto Lognormal distributed with mean meanlog and standard deviation sdlog, then the power-law transformed variable

y = ax^b

is Right-Pareto Lognormal distributed with \frac{meanlog-log(a)}{b}, \frac{sdlog}{b}, shape2*b .

Value

Returns a named list containing

coefficients

Named vector of coefficients
