power1 function

Power function I distribution

Computes the pdf, cdf, value at risk and expected shortfall for the power function I distribution given by [REMOVE_ME]$\begin{array}{ll}&\displaystylef (x) = a x^{a - 1},\\&\displaystyleF (x) = x^a,\\&\displaystyle{\rm VaR}_p (X) = p^{1 / a},\\&\displaystyle{\rm ES}_p (X) = \frac {p^{1 / a}}{1 / a + 1}\end{array} [REMOVE_ME_2]$

for $0 < x < 1$, $0 < p < 1$, and $a > 0$, the shape parameter.

Description

Computes the pdf, cdf, value at risk and expected shortfall for the power function I distribution given by

for $0 < x < 1$, $0 < p < 1$, and $a > 0$, the shape parameter.

dpower1(x, a=1, log=FALSE)
ppower1(x, a=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
varpower1(p, a=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
espower1(p, a=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
• a: the value of the 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.
