B11PDF

Name:
    B11PDF (LET)
Type:
    Library Function
Purpose:
    Compute the Burr type 11 probability density function with shape parameter r.
Description:
    The standard Burr type 11 distribution has the following probability density function:

      f(x;r) = r*{1 - COS(2*PI*x)*(x - SIN(2*PI*x)/(2*PI)}**(r-1)    
0 <  x <  1; r > 0

    with r denoting the shape parameter.

    This distribution can be extended with lower and upper bound parameters. If a and b denote the lower and upper bounds, respectively, then the location and scale parameters are:

      location = a
      scale = b - a

    The general form of the distribution can then be found by using the relation

      f(x;r,a,b) = f((x-a)/(b-a);r,0,1)/(b-a)
Syntax:
    LET <y> = B11PDF(<x>,<r>,<loc>,<scale>)
                            <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <x> is a number, parameter, or variable;
                <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed Burr type 11 pdf value is stored;
                <r> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the shape parameter;
                <loc> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the location parameter;
                <scale> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the scale parameter;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

    If <loc> and <scale> are omitted, they default to 0 and 1, respectively.

Examples:
    LET A = B11PDF(0.3,0.2)
    LET Y = B11PDF(X,0.5,0,5)
    PLOT B11PDF(X,2,0,3) FOR X = 0.01 0.01 2.99
Note:
    Burr type 11 random numbers, probability plots, and goodness of fit tests can be generated with the commands:

      LET R = <value>
      LET Y = BURR TYPE 11 RANDOM NUMBERS FOR I = 1 1 N
      BURR TYPE 11 PROBABILITY PLOT Y
      BURR TYPE 11 PROBABILITY PLOT Y2 X2
      BURR TYPE 11 PROBABILITY PLOT Y3 XLOW XHIGH
      BURR TYPE 11 KOLMOGOROV SMIRNOV GOODNESS OF FIT Y
      BURR TYPE 11 CHI-SQUARE GOODNESS OF FIT Y2 X2
      BURR TYPE 11 CHI-SQUARE GOODNESS OF FIT Y3 XLOW XHIGH

    The following commands can be used to estimate the r shape parameter for the Burr type 11 distribution:

      LET R1 = <value>
      LET R2 = <value>
      BURR TYPE 11 PPCC PLOT Y
      BURR TYPE 11 PPCC PLOT Y2 X2
      BURR TYPE 11 PPCC PLOT Y3 XLOW XHIGH
      BURR TYPE 11 KS PLOT Y
      BURR TYPE 11 KS PLOT Y2 X2
      BURR TYPE 11 KS PLOT Y3 XLOW XHIGH

    The default values for R1 and R2 are 0.5 and 10.

    The probability plot can then be used to estimate the location and scale (location = PPA0, scale = PPA1).

    The BOOTSTRAP DISTRIBUTION command can be used to find uncertainty intervals for the parameter estimates based on the ppcc plot and ks plot.
