Interfaces IContinuousDistribution

Continuous Univariate Skewed Generalized Error Distribution (SGED). Implements the univariate Skewed Generalized Error Distribution. For details about this distribution, see. It includes Laplace, Normal and Student-t distributions. This is the SkewedGeneralizedT distribution with q=Inf.

This implementation is based on the R package dsgt and corresponding viginette, see. Compared to that implementation, the options for mean adjustment and variance adjustment are always true. The location (μ) is the mean of the distribution. The scale (σ) squared is the variance of the distribution.

The distribution will use the Random by default. Users can get/set the random number generator by using the RandomSource property.

The statistics classes will check all the incoming parameters whether they are in the allowed range.

SkewedGeneralizedError(double location, double scale, double skew, double p)

Initializes a new instance of the SkewedGeneralizedT class with a particular location, scale, skew and kurtosis parameters. Different parameterizations result in different distributions.
Parameters
double location

The location (μ) of the distribution.

double scale

The scale (σ) of the distribution. Range: σ > 0.

double skew

The skew, 1 > λ > -1

double p

Parameter that controls kurtosis. Range: p > 0

SkewedGeneralizedError()

Initializes a new instance of the SkewedGeneralizedError class. This is a generalized error distribution with location=0.0, scale=1.0, skew=0.0 and p=2.0 (a standard normal distribution).
