R: Class "Gammad"

Gammad-class {distr} | R Documentation

## Class "Gammad"

### Description

The Gammad distribution with parameters `shape` = a, by default `= 1`, and `scale` = s, by default `= 1`, has density

d(x)= 1/(s^a Gamma(a)) x^(a-1) e^-(x/s)

for x > 0, a > 0 and s > 0. The mean and variance are E(X) = a*s and Var(X) = a*s^2. C.f. `rgamma`

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `Gammad(scale, shape)`. This object is a gamma distribution.

### Slots

`img`

  Object of class `"Reals"`: The space of the image of this distribution has got dimension 1 and the name "Real Space".

`param`

  Object of class `"GammaParameter"`: the parameter of this distribution (scale and shape), declared at its instantiation

`r`

  Object of class `"function"`: generates random numbers (calls function rgamma)

`d`

  Object of class `"function"`: density function (calls function dgamma)

`p`

  Object of class `"function"`: cumulative function (calls function pgamma)

`q`

  Object of class `"function"`: inverse of the cumulative function (calls function qgamma)

`.withArith`

  logical: used internally to issue warnings as to interpretation of arithmetics

`.withSim`

  logical: used internally to issue warnings as to accuracy

`.logExact`

  logical: used internally to flag the case where there are explicit formulae for the log version of density, cdf, and quantile function

`.lowerExact`

  logical: used internally to flag the case where there are explicit formulae for the lower tail version of cdf and quantile function

`Symmetry`

  object of class `"DistributionSymmetry"`; used internally to avoid unnecessary calculations.

### Extends

### Methods

initialize

  `signature(.Object = "Gammad")`: initialize method

scale

  `signature(object = "Gammad")`: returns the slot `scale` of the parameter of the distribution

scale<-

  `signature(object = "Gammad")`: modifies the slot `scale` of the parameter of the distribution

shape

  `signature(object = "Gammad")`: returns the slot `shape` of the parameter of the distribution

shape<-

  `signature(object = "Gammad")`: modifies the slot `shape` of the parameter of the distribution

+

  `signature(e1 = "Gammad", e2 = "Gammad")`: For the Gamma distribution we use its closedness under convolutions.

*

  `signature(e1 = "Gammad", e2 = "numeric")`: For the Gamma distribution we use its closedness under positive scaling transformations.

### Examples

    G <- Gammad(scale=1,shape=1) # G is a gamma distribution with scale=1 and shape=1.
    r(G)(1) # one random number generated from this distribution, e.g. 0.1304441
    d(G)(1) # Density of this distribution is 0.3678794 for x=1.
    p(G)(1) # Probability that x<1 is 0.6321206.
    q(G)(.1) # Probability that x<0.1053605 is 0.1.
    ## in RStudio or Jupyter IRKernel, use q.l(.)(.) instead of q(.)(.)
    scale(G) # scale of this distribution is 1.
    scale(G) <- 2 # scale of this distribution is now 2.
