The L-Logistic Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the L-Logistic distribution with parameters m and phi.

Usage

dllogistic(x, m, phi, log = FALSE)

pllogistic(q, m, phi, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qllogistic(p, m, phi, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rllogistic(n, m, phi)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

m, phi

parameters of the L-Logistic distribution. The parameter m lies in the interval (0,1) and phi is positive.

log, log.p

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

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X \leq x ], otherwise, P[X > x].

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations.

Details

The llogistic distribution has density

f(x)=phi (1 - m)^phi m^phi (x(1 - x))^(phi - 1)/((1 - m)^phi x^phi + m^phi (1 - x)^phi)^2,

for 0< x < 1, where m is a median of the distribution and phi is a shape parameter.

Value

dllogistic(x,m,phi) gives the density function, rllogistic(n,m,phi) gives n random variates and qllogistic(p,m,phi) gives the quantile.

Source

The L-Losgistic distribution was introduced by Tadikamalla and Johnson (1982), which refer to this distribution as Logit-Logistic distribution. Here, we have a new parameterization of the Logit-Logistic with the median as a parameter.
