BU8PDF (LET)

Library Function

Compute the Burr type 8 probability density function with shape parameter r.

The standard Burr type 8 distribution has the following probability density function:

with r denoting the shape parameter.

This distribution can be generalized with location and scale parameters in the usual way using the relation

LET <y> = BU8PDF(<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 8 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.

LET A = BU8PDF(0.3,0.2)
LET Y = BU8PDF(X,0.5,0,5)
PLOT BU8PDF(X,2,0,3) FOR X = -3 0.01 3

Burr type 8 random numbers, probability plots, and goodness of fit tests can be generated with the commands:
LET R = <value>
LET Y = BURR TYPE 2 RANDOM NUMBERS FOR I = 1 1 N
BURR TYPE 8 PROBABILITY PLOT Y
BURR TYPE 8 PROBABILITY PLOT Y2 X2
BURR TYPE 8 PROBABILITY PLOT Y3 XLOW XHIGH
BURR TYPE 8 KOLMOGOROV SMIRNOV GOODNESS OF FIT Y
BURR TYPE 8 CHI-SQUARE GOODNESS OF FIT Y2 X2
BURR TYPE 8 CHI-SQUARE GOODNESS OF FIT Y3 XLOW XHIGH


The following commands can be used to estimate the r shape parameter for the Burr type 8 distribution:

LET R1 = <value>
LET R2 = <value>
BURR TYPE 8 PPCC PLOT Y
BURR TYPE 8 PPCC PLOT Y2 X2
BURR TYPE 8 PPCC PLOT Y3 XLOW XHIGH
BURR TYPE 8 KS PLOT Y
BURR TYPE 8 KS PLOT Y2 X2
BURR TYPE 8 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.
