Logarithm of Cumulative Distribution Function
Evaluate the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function for a Pareto (Type I) distribution.
The cumulative distribution function for a Pareto (Type I) random variable is
and zero otherwise. In the equation, alpha > 0
is the shape parameter and beta > 0
is the scale parameter.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-pareto-type1-logcdf
Usage
var logcdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-pareto-type1-logcdf' );
logcdf( x, alpha, beta )
Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Pareto (Type I) distribution with parameters alpha
(shape parameter) and beta
(scale parameter).
var y = logcdf( 2.0, 1.0, 1.0 );
// returns ~-0.693
y = logcdf( 5.0, 2.0, 4.0 );
// returns ~-1.022
y = logcdf( 4.0, 2.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~-0.288
y = logcdf( 1.9, 2.0, 2.0 );
// returns -Infinity
y = logcdf( +Infinity, 4.0, 2.0 );
// returns 0.0
If provided NaN
as any argument, the function returns NaN
.
var y = logcdf( NaN, 1.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN
y = logcdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN
y = logcdf( 0.0, 1.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
If provided alpha <= 0
, the function returns NaN
.
var y = logcdf( 2.0, -1.0, 0.5 );
// returns NaN
y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.0, 0.5 );
// returns NaN
If provided beta <= 0
, the function returns NaN
.
var y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.5, -1.0 );
// returns NaN
y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.5, 0.0 );
// returns NaN
logcdf.factory( alpha, beta )
Returns a function for evaluating the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a Pareto (Type I) distribution with parameters alpha
(shape parameter) and beta
(scale parameter).
var mylogcdf = logcdf.factory( 10.0, 2.0 );
var y = mylogcdf( 3.0 );
// returns ~-0.017
y = mylogcdf( 2.5 );
// returns ~-0.114
Notes
- In virtually all cases, using the
logpdf
orlogcdf
functions is preferable to manually computing the logarithm of thepdf
orcdf
, respectively, since the latter is prone to overflow and underflow.
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var logcdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-pareto-type1-logcdf' );
var alpha;
var beta;
var x;
var y;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
x = randu() * 8.0;
alpha = randu() * 5.0;
beta = randu() * 5.0;
y = logcdf( x, alpha, beta );
console.log( 'x: %d, α: %d, β: %d, ln(F(x;α,β)): %d', x.toFixed( 4 ), alpha.toFixed( 4 ), beta.toFixed( 4 ), y.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
