parctan {gendist}

Cumulative distribution function of arc tan model.

Description

Computes cdf of the arc tan model.

Usage

parctan(q, alpha, spec, arg, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

Arguments

q

scalar or vector of values to compute the cdf.

alpha

the value of \alpha parameter, \alpha>0.

spec

a character string specifying the parent distribution (for example, "lnorm" if the parent distribution corresponds to the lognormal).

arg

list of arguments/parameters of the parent distribution.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE, cdf are returned, otherwise 1-cdf.

log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities returned are given as log(cdf).

Details

The cdf of arc tan model with parameter \alpha has a general form of:

F(q) = 1- \frac{\arctan(\alpha (1-G(q)) )}{\arctan(\alpha)}

for a\leq x\leq b where a and b follow the support of g(q). \arctan denote the inverse function of tangent. g(q) and G(q) are the pdf and cdf of parent distribution, respectively. Note also that \alpha>0.

Value

An object of the same length as q, giving the cdf values computed at q.
