plotShapeTriangle function

Plot the Shape Triangle

Plots the shape triangle for a hyperbolic distribution or generalized hyperbolic distribution. For the hyperbolic distribution the parameter $chi$ is related to the skewness, and the parameter $xi$ is related to the kurtosis. See Barndorff-Nielsen, O. and , P. (1981).

plotShapeTriangle(xgap = 0.025, ygap = 0.0625/2,
                  main = "Shape Triangle", ...)

Arguments

• xgap: Gap between the left- and right-hand edges of the shape triangle and the border surrounding the graph.
• ygap: Gap between the top and bottom of the shape triangle and the border surrounding the graph.
• main: Title for the plot.
• ...: Values of other graphical parameters.
