The exponentiated XLindley distribution

Density, distribution function, quantile function, random generation and hazard function for the exponentiated XLindley distribution with parameters mu and sigma.

Usage

dEXL(x, mu, sigma, log = FALSE)

pEXL(q, mu, sigma, log.p = FALSE, lower.tail = TRUE)

qEXL(p, mu, sigma, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rEXL(n, mu, sigma)

hEXL(x, mu, sigma, log = FALSE)

Arguments

x, q: vector of quantiles.
mu: parameter.
sigma: parameter.
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.

Value

dEXL gives the density, pEXL gives the distribution function, qEXL gives the quantile function, rEXL generates random deviates and hEXL gives the hazard function.

Details

The exponentiated XLindley with parameters mu and sigma has density given by

\( f(x) = \frac{\sigma\mu^2(2+\mu + x)\exp(-\mu x)}{(1+\mu)^2}\left[1- \left(1+\frac{\mu x}{(1 + \mu)^2}\right) \exp(-\mu x)\right] ^ {\sigma-1} \)

for \(x \geq 0\), \(\mu \geq 0\) and \(\sigma \geq 0\).

Note: In this implementation we changed the original parameters \(\delta\) for \(\mu\) and \(\alpha\) for \(\sigma\), we did it to implement this distribution within gamlss framework.
