sn.params {swfscMisc}

Skew-Normal parameter computation

Description

Compute parameters and moments of skew normal distribution.

Usage

sn.location(mode, scale, shape)

sn.mean(dp)

sn.mode(dp)

sn.variance(scale, shape)

sn.skewness(shape)

sn.delta(shape)

sn.m0(shape)

Arguments

mode

mode of skew normal distribution.

scale

skew normal scale parameter.

shape

skew normal shape parameter.

dp

3 element vector of (in order) location, scale, and shape parameters.

Value

sn.location	location parameter computed from mode, scale, and shape.
sn.mean	mean of the skew normal distribution.
sn.mode	mode of the skew normal distribution.
sn.variance	variance of the skew normal distribution.
sn.skewness	skewness of the skew normal distribution.
sn.delta	value used in other moment computations.
sn.m0	value used in mode computation.
