Package 'loglognorm'

The Double Log Normal Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function, random generation and expected value function for the double log normal distribution with mean equal to 'mean' and standard deviation equal to 'sd'.

Usage

dloglognorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 1)
ploglognorm(q, mean = 0, sd = 1)
qloglognorm(p, mean = 0, sd = 1)
rloglognorm(n, mean = 0, sd = 1)
mloglognorm(moment, mean, sd)
eloglognorm(mean, sd)
vloglognorm(mean, sd)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
p	vector of probabilites.
n	number of observations.
mean	vector of means.
sd	vector of standard deviations.
moment	vector of moments

Details

If 'mean' or 'sd' are not specified they assume the default values of '0' and '1', respectively.

Value

'dloglognorm' gives the density, 'ploglognorm' gives the distribution function, 'qloglognorm' gives the quantile function, 'rloglognorm' generates random deviates, 'mloglognorm' returns the rth moment, 'eloglognorm' gives the expected value of the distirbution and vloglognorm the variance.

Examples

x <- seq(0, 1, by=0.05)
  ## Several different shapes of the density:
  par(mfrow=c(3, 1))
  curve(dloglognorm(x, -0.2, 0.2), 0, 1, main="DLN(-0.2, 0.2)")
  curve(dloglognorm(x,  0.2, 1.0), 0, 1, main="DLN(0.2, 2.0)")
  curve(dloglognorm(x,  0.2, 1.8), 0, 1, main="DLN(0.2, 2.0)")

  ## Check precision:
  z <- x - pnorm(qnorm(x, .2, 1.0), .2, 1.0)
  max(z)
