dGammaW function

The Gamma Weibull distribution

Density, distribution function, quantile function, random generation and hazard function for the Gamma Weibull distribution with parameters mu, sigma, nu and tau.

dGammaW(x, mu, sigma, nu, log = FALSE)

pGammaW(q, mu, sigma, nu, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qGammaW(p, mu, sigma, nu, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rGammaW(n, mu, sigma, nu)

hGammaW(x, mu, sigma, nu)

Arguments

• x, q: vector of quantiles.
• mu: parameter.
• sigma: parameter.
• nu: parameter.
• log, log.p: logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
• lower.tail: logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x].
• p: vector of probabilities.
• n: number of observations.

Returns

dGammaW gives the density, pGammaW gives the distribution function, qGammaW gives the quantile function, rGammaW

generates random deviates and hGammaW gives the hazard function.

Details

The Gamma Weibull Distribution with parameters mu, sigma and nu has density given by

$f(x)= \frac{\sigma \mu^{\nu}}{\Gamma(\nu)} x^{\nu \sigma - 1} \exp(-\mu x^\sigma),$

for $x > 0$, $\mu > 0$, $\sigma \geq 0$ and $\nu > 0$.

Examples

old_par <- par(mfrow = c(1, 1)) # save previous graphical parameters

## The probability density function 
curve(dGammaW(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1), from = 0, to = 6, 
      col = "red", las = 1, ylab = "f(x)")

## The cumulative distribution and the Reliability function
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
curve(pGammaW(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1), from = 0, to = 3, 
ylim = c(0, 1), col = "red", las = 1, ylab = "F(x)")
curve(pGammaW(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1, lower.tail = FALSE), 
from = 0, to = 3, ylim = c(0, 1), col = "red", las = 1, ylab = "R(x)")

## The quantile function
p <- seq(from = 0, to = 0.99999, length.out = 100)
plot(x = qGammaW(p = p, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1), y = p, 
xlab = "Quantile", las = 1, ylab = "Probability")
curve(pGammaW(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1), from = 0, add = TRUE, 
col = "red")

## The random function
hist(rGammaW(1000, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1), freq = FALSE, xlab = "x", 
ylim = c(0, 1), las = 1, main = "")
curve(dGammaW(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1),  from = 0, add = TRUE, 
col = "red", ylim = c(0, 1))

## The Hazard function
par(mfrow=c(1,1))
curve(hGammaW(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 2, nu=1), from = 0, to = 2, 
ylim = c(0, 1), col = "red", ylab = "Hazard function", las = 1)

par(old_par) # restore previous graphical parameters
