The Quasi XGamma Poisson family

Usage

QXGP(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log")

Arguments

mu.link

defines the mu.link, with "log" link as the default for the mu parameter.

sigma.link

defines the sigma.link, with "log" link as the default for the sigma.

nu.link

defines the nu.link, with "log" link as the default for the nu parameter.

Value

Returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a QXGP distribution in the gamlss() function.

Details

The Quasi XGamma Poisson distribution with parameters mu, sigma and nu has density given by

\(f(x)= K(\mu, \sigma, \nu)(\frac {\sigma^{2} x^{2}}{2} + \mu) exp(\frac{\nu exp(-\sigma x)(1 + \mu + \sigma x + \frac {\sigma^{2}x^{2}}{2})}{1+\mu} - \sigma x),\)

for \(x > 0\), \(\mu> 0\), \(\sigma> 0\), \(\nu> 1\).

where

\(K(\mu, \sigma, \nu) = \frac{\nu \sigma}{(exp(\nu)-1)(1+\mu)}\)
