Fréchet

Fréchet distribution constructor.

Usage

var Frechet = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/frechet/ctor' );

Frechet( [alpha, s, m] )

Returns a Fréchet distribution object.

var frechet = new Frechet();

var mu = frechet.mean;
// returns Infinity

By default, alpha = 1.0, s = 1.0, and m = 0.0. To create a distribution having a different alpha (shape), s (scale), and m (location), provide the corresponding arguments.

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 4.0, 3.5 );

var mu = frechet.mean;
// returns ~10.59

frechet

An Fréchet distribution object has the following properties and methods...

Writable Properties

frechet.alpha

var frechet = new Frechet();

var alpha = frechet.alpha;
// returns 1.0

frechet.alpha = 0.5;

alpha = frechet.alpha;
// returns 0.5

frechet.s

Scale parameter of the distribution. s must be a positive number.

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 4.0, 1.5 );

var s = frechet.s;
// returns 4.0

frechet.s = 3.0;

s = frechet.s;
// returns 3.0

frechet.m

Location parameter of the distribution.

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 2.0, 4.0 );

var m = frechet.m;

Frechet.prototype.skewness

Returns the skewness.

var frechet = new Frechet( 4.0, 12.0, 2.0 );

var skewness = frechet.skewness;
// returns ~5.605

Frechet.prototype.stdev

Returns the standard deviation.

var frechet = new Frechet( 4.0, 12.0, 2.0 );

var s = frechet.stdev;
// returns ~6.245

Frechet.prototype.variance

Returns the variance.

var frechet = new Frechet( 4.0, 12.0, 2.0 );

var s2 = frechet.variance;
// returns ~38.996

Methods

Frechet.prototype.cdf( x )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = frechet.cdf( 2.5 );
// returns 0.0

Frechet.prototype.logcdf( x )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = frechet.logcdf( 2.5 );
// returns -Infinity

Frechet.prototype.logpdf( x )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the probability density function (PDF).

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = frechet.logpdf( 5.5 );
// returns ~-1.843

Frechet.prototype.pdf( x )

Evaluates the probability density function (PDF).

var frechet = new Frechet( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = frechet.pdf( 5.5 );

var y = frechet.quantile( 0.5 );
// returns ~7.804

y = frechet.quantile( 1.9 );
// returns NaN
