Mathematical and statistical functions for the Shifted Log-Logistic distribution, which is commonly used in survival analysis for its non-monotonic hazard as well as in economics, a generalised variant of Loglogistic.

Value

Returns an R6 object inheriting from class SDistribution.

Details

The Shifted Log-Logistic distribution parameterised with shape, \(\beta\), scale, \(\alpha\), and location, \(\gamma\), is defined by the pdf, $$f(x) = (\beta/\alpha)((x-\gamma)/\alpha)^{\beta-1}(1 + ((x-\gamma)/\alpha)^\beta)^{-2}$$ for \(\alpha, \beta > 0\) and \(\gamma >= 0\).

Distribution support

The distribution is supported on the non-negative Reals.

Default Parameterisation

ShiftLLogis(scale = 1, shape = 1, location = 0)

Methods

Inherited methods


Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$new(
  scale = NULL,
  shape = NULL,
  location = NULL,
  rate = NULL,
  decorators = NULL
)

Arguments

scale

numeric(1))
Scale parameter of the distribution, defined on the positive Reals. scale = 1/rate. If provided rate is ignored.

shape

(numeric(1))
Shape parameter, defined on the positive Reals.

location

(numeric(1))
Location parameter, defined on the Reals.

rate

(numeric(1))
Rate parameter of the distribution, defined on the positive Reals.

decorators

(character())
Decorators to add to the distribution during construction.


Method mean()

The arithmetic mean of a (discrete) probability distribution X is the expectation $$E_X(X) = \sum p_X(x)*x$$ with an integration analogue for continuous distributions.

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$mean(...)

Arguments

...

Unused.


Method mode()

The mode of a probability distribution is the point at which the pdf is a local maximum, a distribution can be unimodal (one maximum) or multimodal (several maxima).

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$mode(which = "all")

Arguments

which

(character(1) | numeric(1)
Ignored if distribution is unimodal. Otherwise "all" returns all modes, otherwise specifies which mode to return.


Method median()

Returns the median of the distribution. If an analytical expression is available returns distribution median, otherwise if symmetric returns self$mean, otherwise returns self$quantile(0.5).

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$median()


Method variance()

The variance of a distribution is defined by the formula $$var_X = E[X^2] - E[X]^2$$ where \(E_X\) is the expectation of distribution X. If the distribution is multivariate the covariance matrix is returned.

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$variance(...)

Arguments

...

Unused.


Method pgf()

The probability generating function is defined by $$pgf_X(z) = E_X[exp(z^x)]$$ where X is the distribution and \(E_X\) is the expectation of the distribution X.

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$pgf(z, ...)

Arguments

z

(integer(1))
z integer to evaluate probability generating function at.

...

Unused.


Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

ShiftedLoglogistic$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
