Random Numbers from the TPGX Distribution {TPXG}R Documentation

Random Numbers from the TPGX Distribution

Description

Generates random numbers form the Two Parameter Xgamma distribution.

Usage

rtpxg(n, alpha = 1, theta = 1)

Arguments

n

An integer indicating the desired sample size.

alpha

A positive real number.

theta

A positive real number.

Details

The TPXG distribution is a mixture of exponential(\theta) and gamma(3,\theta) with mixing proportions \frac{\theta}{\alpha+\theta} and \frac{\alpha}{\alpha+\theta} respectively.

Value

A numeric vector of size n containing random values from the TPXG distribution.
