About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Logarithm of Cumulative Distribution Function

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Fréchet distribution logarithm of cumulative distribution function.

The cumulative distribution function for a Fréchet random variable is

$$F\left( x; \mu, \beta \right ) = e^{{-({\frac{x-m}{s}})^{{-\alpha }}}}$$

where alpha > 0 is the shape, s > 0 the scale, and m the location parameter.

Usage

To use in Observable,

logcdf = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-dists-frechet-logcdf@umd/browser.js' )

To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:

var logcdf = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/stats-base-dists-frechet-logcdf/index.js' )

To include the bundle in a webpage,

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-dists-frechet-logcdf@umd/browser.js"></script>

If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
    window.logcdf;
})();
</script>

logcdf( x, alpha, s, m )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Fréchet distribution with shape alpha, scale s, and location m at a value x.

var y = logcdf( 10.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~-0.36

y = logcdf( -3.4, 1.0, 2.0, -4.0 );
// returns ~-3.333

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

If provided x <= m, the function returns -Infinity.

y = logcdf( -2.0, 2.0, 1.0, -1.0 );
// returns -Infinity

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

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

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

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

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

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

var y = logcdf( 2.0, -0.1, 1.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

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

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

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

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

logcdf.factory( alpha, s, m )

Returns a function for evaluating the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function of a Fréchet distribution with shape alpha, scale s, and location m.

var mylogcdf = logcdf.factory( 3.0, 3.0, 5.0 );

var y = mylogcdf( 10.0 );
// returns ~-0.216

y = mylogcdf( 7.0 );
// returns ~-3.375

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.
