pskew {gendist}

Cumulative distribution function of skewed symmetric model.

Description

Computes cdf of the skewed symmetric model.

Usage

pskew(q, spec1, arg1, spec2, arg2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

Arguments

q

scale or vector of values to compute the cdf.

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).

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 skewed symmetric model has a general form of:

F(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{x} 2 h(y) G(y) dy, \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 q, giving the cdf values computed at q.
