Logarithm of Cumulative Distribution Function

Gumbel distribution logarithm of cumulative distribution function.

The cumulative distribution function for a Gumbel random variable is

where mu is the location parameter and beta > 0 is the scale parameter.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-gumbel-logcdf

Usage

var logcdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-gumbel-logcdf' );

logcdf( x, mu, beta )

Evaluates the logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Gumbel distribution with parameters mu (location parameter) and beta (scale parameter).

var y = logcdf( 10.0, 0.0, 3.0 );
// returns ~-0.036

y = logcdf( -2.0, 0.0, 3.0 );
// returns ~-1.948

y = logcdf( 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns ~-1

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var y = logcdf( NaN, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = logcdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = logcdf( 0.0, 0.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

If provided beta <= 0, the function returns NaN.

var y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

logcdf.factory( mu, beta )

Returns a function for evaluating the logarithm of the cumulative distribution function of a Gumbel distribution with parameters mu (location parameter) and beta (scale parameter).

var mylogcdf = logcdf.factory( 0.0, 3.0 );

var y = mylogcdf( 10.0 );
// returns ~-0.036

y = mylogcdf( -2.0 );
// returns ~-1.948

Notes

• In virtually all cases, using the logpdf or logcdf functions is preferable to manually computing the logarithm of the pdf or cdf, respectively, since the latter is prone to overflow and underflow.

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var logcdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-gumbel-logcdf' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var beta = uniform( 100, 0.0, 10.0, opts );
var mu = uniform( 100, 0.0, 10.0, opts );
var x = uniform( 100, 0.0, 10.0, opts );

logEachMap( 'x: %0.4f, µ: %0.4f, β: %0.4f, ln(F(x;µ,β)): %0.4f', x, mu, beta, logcdf );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/gumbel/logcdf.h"

stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logcdf( x, mu, beta )

Evaluates the logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Gumbel distribution with parameters mu (location parameter) and beta (scale parameter).

double out = stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logcdf( 10.0, 0.0, 3.0 );
// returns ~-0.036

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.
• mu: [in] double location parameter.
• beta: [in] double scale parameter.

double stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logcdf( const double x, const double mu, const double beta );

Examples

#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/gumbel/logcdf.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static double random_uniform( const double min, const double max ) {
    double v = (double)rand() / ( (double)RAND_MAX + 1.0 );
    return min + ( v*(max-min) );
}

int main( void ) {
    double beta;
    double mu;
    double x;
    double y;
    int i;

    for ( i = 0; i < 25; i++ ) {
        x = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 );
        mu = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 );
        beta = random_uniform( 0.0, 10.0 );
        y = stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logcdf( x, mu, beta );
        printf( "x: %lf, µ: %lf, β: %lf, ln(F(x;µ,β)): %lf\n", x, mu, beta, y );
    }
}
