Kumaraswamy half normal distribution

Computes the pdf, cdf, value at risk and expected shortfall for the Kumaraswamy half normal distribution due to Cordeiro et al. (2012c) given by [REMOVE_ME]$\begin{array}{ll}&\displaystylef (x) = \frac {2a b}{\sigma} \phi \left( \frac {x}{\sigma} \right) \left[ 2 \Phi \left( \frac {x}{\sigma} \right) - 1 \right]^{a - 1}\left\{ 1 - \left[ 2 \Phi \left( \frac {x}{\sigma} \right) - 1 \right]^a \right\}^{b - 1},\\&\displaystyleF (x) = 1 - \left\{ 1 - \left[ 2 \Phi \left( \frac {x}{\sigma} \right) - 1 \right]^a \right\}^b,\\&\displaystyle{\rm VaR}_p (X) = \sigma \Phi^{-1} \left( \frac {1}{2} + \frac {1}{2}\left[ 1 - (1 - p)^{1 / b} \right]^{1 / a} \right),\\&\displaystyle{\rm ES}_p (X) = \frac {\sigma}{p} \int_0^p \Phi^{-1} \left( \frac {1}{2} + \frac {1}{2}\left[ 1 - (1 - v)^{1 / b} \right]^{1 / a} \right) dv\end{array} [REMOVE_ME_2]$

Description

Computes the pdf, cdf, value at risk and expected shortfall for the Kumaraswamy half normal distribution due to Cordeiro et al. (2012c) given by

for $x > 0$, $0 < p < 1$, $\sigma > 0$, the scale parameter, $a > 0$, the first shape parameter, and $b > 0$, the second shape parameter.

dkumhalfnorm(x, sigma=1, a=1, b=1, log=FALSE)
pkumhalfnorm(x, sigma=1, a=1, b=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
varkumhalfnorm(p, sigma=1, a=1, b=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
eskumhalfnorm(p, sigma=1, a=1, b=1)

Arguments

• x: scaler or vector of values at which the pdf or cdf needs to be computed
• p: scaler or vector of values at which the value at risk or expected shortfall needs to be computed
• sigma: the value of the scale parameter, must be positive, the default is 1
• a: the value of the first shape parameter, must be positive, the default is 1
• b: the value of the second shape parameter, must be positive, the default is 1
• log: if TRUE then log(pdf) are returned
• log.p: if TRUE then log(cdf) are returned and quantiles are computed for exp(p)
• lower.tail: if FALSE then 1-cdf are returned and quantiles are computed for 1-p

Returns

An object of the same length as x, giving the pdf or cdf values computed at x or an object of the same length as p, giving the values at risk or expected shortfall computed at p.
