dskew {gendist}

Probabilty density function of skewed symmetric model.

Description

Computes pdf of the skewed symmetric model.

Usage

dskew(x, spec1, arg1, spec2, arg2, log = FALSE)

Arguments

x

scalar or vector of values to compute the pdf.

spec1

a character string specifying the parent distribution g(x) (for example, "norm" if the parent distribution corresponds to the normal).

arg1

list of arguments/parameters of the parent distribution g(x).

spec2

a character string specifying the parent distribution H(x) (for example, "logis" if the parent distribution corresponds to the logistic).

arg2

list of arguments/parameters of the parent distribution H(x).

log

logical; if TRUE, log(pdf) are returned.

Details

The pdf of skewed symmetric model has a general form of:

f(x) = 2h(x)G(x), \quad -\infty < x < \infty

where h(x) and G(x) are the pdf and cdf of parent distributions, respectively.

Value

An object of the same length as x, giving the pdf values computed at x.
