1 Version Date Title Distributions and Gradients Type Package Author Feng Li, Jiayue Zeng Maintainer Jiayue Zeng Depends R (>= 3.0.0) Package dng November 22, 2017 Provides density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the splitt distribution, and computes the mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis for the splitt distribution (Li, F, Villani, M. and Kohn, R. (2010) <doi: /j.jspi >). License GPL (>= 2) URL Encoding UTF-8 LazyData true Imports stats, Rcpp (>= ) LinkingTo Rcpp NeedsCompilation yes Repository CRAN Date/Publication :16:29 UTC R topics documented: dsplitt psplitt qsplitt rsplitt split-t Index 10 1

2 2 dsplitt dsplitt Split-t distribution Density function for the split student-t distribution. Usage dsplitt(x, mu, df, phi, lmd, logarithm) Arguments x mu df vector of quantiles. vector of location parameter. (The mode of the density) degrees of freedom (> 0, maybe non-integer). df = Inf is allowed. phi vector of scale parameters (>0). lmd Details logarithm vector of skewness parameters (>0). If is 1, reduced to symmetric student t distribution. logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p). The random variable y follows a split-t distribution with ν>0 degrees of freedom, y~t(µ, φ, λ, ν), if its density function is of the form CK(µ, φ, ν, )I(y µ) + CK(µ, λφ, ν)i(y > µ), where, K(µ, φ, ν, ) = [ν/(ν + (y µ) 2 /φ 2 )] (ν+1)/2 is the kernel of a student t density with variance φ 2 ν/(ν 2) and c = 2[(1 + λ)φ( ν)beta(ν/2, 1/2)] 1 is the normalization constant. Value dsplitt gives the density. Invalid arguments will result in return value NaN, with a warning. The length of the result is determined by n for rsplitt, and is the maximum of the lengths of the numerical arguments for the other functions. The numerical arguments other than n are recycled to the length of the result. Only the first elements of the logical arguments are used.
