cdfglo {lmomco}

Cumulative Distribution Function of the Generalized Logistic Distribution

Description

This function computes the cumulative probability or nonexceedance probability of the Generalized Logistic distribution given parameters (\xi, \alpha, and \kappa) computed by parglo. The cumulative distribution function is

F(x) = 1/(1+\mathrm{exp}(-Y)) \mbox{,}

where Y is

Y = -\kappa^{-1} \log\left(1 - \frac{\kappa(x-\xi)}{\alpha}\right)\mbox{,}

for \kappa \ne 0 and

Y = (x-\xi)/\alpha\mbox{,}

for \kappa = 0, where F(x) is the nonexceedance probability for quantile x, \xi is a location parameter, \alpha is a scale parameter, and \kappa is a shape parameter.

Usage

cdfglo(x, para)

Arguments

x

A real value vector.

para

The parameters from parglo or vec2par.

Value

Nonexceedance probability (F) for x.
