Estimation for a Family of Skew Distributions with Bounded Support
Description
Perform parameter estimation for a family of skew distributions with bounded support.
Usage
estimate.skewunit(x, family1 = "asin", family2 = "asin", est.var = TRUE)
Arguments
x |

family1 |
first family of distributions related to |
family2 |
first family of distributions related to |
est.var |
logical; if TRUE, estimate the standard errors of the estimators. |
Details
The Family of Skew Distributions with Bounded Support is defined by its density function given by
f(x)=2 G(\lambda(y-0.5)+0.5), \quad x \in (0,1), \lambda \in (-1,1),
where f
is symmetric around 0.5, i.e., f(x-0.5)=f(x+0.5)
.
The avaliable options for family1 and family2 are asin, Uquad, triang, JSB and sbeta.
Value
an object of class "skewunit" is returned. The object returned for this functions is a list containing the following components:
