Gumbel Distribution (for maxima)

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Gumbel distribution (for maxima) with scale and location parameters equal to scale and location, respectively.

Usage

dgumbel(x,scale=1,location=0,log=FALSE)
pgumbel(q,scale=1,location=0,lower.tail=TRUE,log.p=FALSE)
qgumbel(p,scale=1,location=0,lower.tail=TRUE,log.p=FALSE)
rgumbel(n,scale=1,location=0)

Arguments

Details

If X is a random variable distributed according to a Gumbel distribution, it has density
f(x) = 1/scale*exp(-(x-location)/scale-exp(-(x-location)/scale))

Value

dgumbel gives the density, pgumbel gives the distribution function, qgumbel gives the quantile function, and rgumbel generates random deviates.
