R: Skew Normal Type 2 distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

SN2 {gamlss.dist} | R Documentation

## Skew Normal Type 2 distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

### Description

The function `SN2()` defines the Skew Normal Type 2 distribution, a three parameter distribution, for a `gamlss.family` object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function `gamlss()`, with parameters `mu`, `sigma` and `nu`. The functions `dSN2`, `pSN2`, `qSN2` and `rSN2` define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the `SN2` parameterization of the Skew Normal Type 2 distribution.

### Usage

    SN2(mu.link = "identity", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log")
    dSN2(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2, log = FALSE)
    pSN2(q, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
    qSN2(p, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
    rSN2(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2)

### Arguments

`mu.link` | Defines the `mu.link`, with "‘identity"’ links the default for the mu parameter
`sigma.link` | Defines the `sigma.link`, with "‘log"’ as the default for the sigma parameter
`nu.link` | Defines the `nu.link`, with "‘log"’ as the default for the sigma parameter
`x, q` | vector of quantiles
`mu` | vector of location parameter values
`sigma` | vector of scale parameter values
`nu` | vector of scale parameter values
`log, log.p` | logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p)
`lower.tail` | logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise P[X > x]
`p` | vector of probabilities
`n` | number of observations. If `length(n) > 1`, the length is taken to be the number required

### Details

The parameterization of the Skew Normal Type 2 distribution in the function `SN2` is ...

### Value

returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a Skew Normal Type 2 distribution in the `gamlss()` function.

### Note

This is a special case of the Skew Exponential Power type 3 distribution (`SEP3`)where `tau=2`.
