Probability density function (PDF), cummulative density function (CDF), quantile function and random generation for the Three-Parameter Weibull (weibull3p) distribution.
dweibull3p(x, shape = 1, scale = 1, mu = 0, log = FALSE)
pweibull3p(q, shape = 1, scale = 1, mu = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qweibull3p(p, shape = 1, scale = 1, mu = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rweibull3p(n, shape = 1, scale = 1, mu = 0)Arguments
- x, q
numeric vector
- shape
shape parameter, or slope, defaulting to 1
- scale
scale parameter, or characteristic life, defaulting to 1
- mu
location parameter (numerical, default 0).
- lower.tail
logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X<=x], otherwise, P[X > x]
- log.p
logical; if TRUE, probabilities/densities p are returned as log(p).
- n
number of observations
Value
Three-parameter PDF values for dweibull3p, three-parameter probability for pweibull3p, quantiles or three-parameter random generated values for rweibull3p.
Details
It is important to mention that Weibull distribution is defined for \(x > 0\) and, therefore, values \(x < 0\) will yield probability zero. While to obtain negative random values with function rweibull3p is an indication that the location parameter \(\mu\) has not a valid value.
Examples
set.seed(123) # set a seed for random generation
## Sampling from the specified Weibull distribution
r <- rweibull3p(n = 1e5, shape = 1.4, scale = 3.7, mu = 0.9)
## The histogram and density
hist(r, 100, freq = FALSE, xlim = c(0, 20))
r1 <- seq(0, 20, by = 0.1)
lines(r1, dweibull3p(r1, shape = 1.4, scale = 3.7, mu = 0.9),
col = "red"
)
