Density function, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Frechet distribution with location, scale and shape parameters.

dFrechet(x, loc=0, scale=1, shape=1, log = FALSE)
pFrechet(q, loc=0, scale=1, shape=1, lower.tail = TRUE)
qFrechet(p, loc=0, scale=1, shape=1, lower.tail = TRUE)
rFrechet(n, loc=0, scale=1, shape=1)

Arguments

x, q

Vector of quantiles.

p

Vector of probabilities.

n

Number of observations.

loc, scale, shape

Location, scale and shape parameters (can be given as vectors).

log

Logical; if TRUE, the log density is returned.

lower.tail

Logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x]

Details

The Frechet distribution function with parameters \(loc = a\), \(scale = b\) and \(shape = s\) is $$G(z) = \exp\left\{-\left(\frac{z-a}{b}\right)^{-s} \right\}$$ for \(z > a\) and zero otherwise, where \(b > 0\) and \(s > 0\).

Value

dFrechet gives the density function, pFrechet gives the distribution function, qFrechet gives the quantile function, and rFrechet generates random deviates.
