dal function

The Asymmetric Laplace Distribution

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the asymmetric Laplace distribution.

dal(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, tau = 0.5, log = FALSE)
pal(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, tau = 0.5)
qal(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, tau = 0.5)
ral(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1, tau = 0.5)

Arguments

• x: vector of quantiles (dal, pal) or probabilities (qal).
• n: number of observations.
• mu: location parameter.
• sigma: positive scale parameter.
• tau: skewness parameter (0,1).
• log: logical; if TRUE, probabilities are log--transformed.

Details

The asymmetric Laplace distribution with parameters (mu, sigma, tau) has density
