dist_bdegp function

Construct a BDEGP-Family

Constructs a BDEGP-Family distribution with fixed number of components and blending interval.

dist_bdegp(n, m, u, epsilon)

Arguments

• n: Number of dirac components, starting with a point mass at 0.
• m: Number of erlang components, translated by n - 0.5.
• u: Blending cut-off, must be a positive real.
• epsilon: Blending radius, must be a positive real less than u. The blending interval will be u - epsilon < x < u + epsilon.

Returns

• A MixtureDistribution of

  • n DiracDistributions at 0 .. n - 1 and

  • a BlendedDistribution object with child Distributions

    • a TranslatedDistribution with offset n - 0.5 of an ErlangMixtureDistribution with m shapes

    • and a GeneralizedParetoDistribution with shape parameter restricted to [0, 1] and location parameter fixed at u

      With break u and bandwidth epsilon.

Examples

dist <- dist_bdegp(n = 1, m = 2, u = 10, epsilon = 3)
params <- list(
  dists = list(
    list(),
    list(
      dists = list(
        list(
          dist = list(
            shapes = list(1L, 2L),
            scale = 1.0,
            probs = list(0.7, 0.3)
          )
        ),
        list(
          sigmau = 1.0,
          xi = 0.1
        )
      ),
      probs = list(0.1, 0.9)
    )
  ),
  probs = list(0.95, 0.05)
)
x <- dist$sample(100, with_params = params)

plot_distributions(
  theoretical = dist,
  empirical = dist_empirical(x),
  .x = seq(0, 20, length.out = 101),
  with_params = list(theoretical = params)
)
