PowerDist function

Power distribution

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the power distribution.

dpower(x, alpha, beta, log = FALSE)

ppower(q, alpha, beta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qpower(p, alpha, beta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rpower(n, alpha, beta)

Arguments

• x, q: vector of quantiles.

• alpha, beta: parameters.

• log, log.p: logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

• lower.tail: logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are $P[X \le x]$

  otherwise, $P[X > x]$.

• p: vector of probabilities.

• n: number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

Examples

x <- rpower(1e5, 5, 16)
hist(x, 100, freq = FALSE)
curve(dpower(x, 5, 16), 2, 6, col = "red", add = TRUE, n = 5000)
hist(ppower(x, 5, 16))
plot(ecdf(x))
curve(ppower(x, 5, 16), 2, 6, col = "red", lwd = 2, add = TRUE)
