Parameters

  • Size is # of random numbers (Positive integer).
  • Gamma is a parameter of the distribution \gamma.
  • Delta is a parameter of the distribution \delta\;(>0).
  • Lambda is a parameter of the distribution \lambda\;(>0).
  • Xi is a parameter of the distribution \xi.
  • Algorithm is a integer value that determines a method to generate uniform random number.
    • 0: Mersenne Twister(2002)
    • 1: Mersenne Twister(1998)
    • 2: Numerical Recipes
      ran2()
  • Random seed1 is 1st. random seed.
  • Random seed2 is 2nd. random seed.
  • Use invert func is a logical value that determines a method to generate normal random number. If Use invert func is TRUE, inverse function method is used; if FALSE, box-Muller method is used.
  • Use antithetic is a logical value that determines antithetic variant method is used or not. If Use antithetic is TRUE, antithetic variant method is used; if FALSE, antithetic variant method is not used.
  • Use resampling is a logical value that determines quadratic resampling method is used or not. If Use resampling is TRUE, quadratic resampling method is used; if FALSE, quadratic resampling method is not used.

Remarks

  • The distribution has infinite support (-\infty,+\infty).
  • The distribution is leptokurtic.
