RGTPDFName:
with and denoting the shape parameters and a and b the lower and upper limits, respectively. The case where a = 0 and b = 1 is referred to as the standard reflected generalized Topp and Leone distribution. The lower and upper limits are related to the location and scale parameters as follows:
scale = b - a Kotz and van Dorp have proposed this distribution as an alternative to the beta distribution. It is distinguished from the beta distribution in that it can have positive density at the lower limit with a strict positive mode.
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <x> is a number, parameter, or variable containing values in the interval (a,b); <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed reflected generalized Topp and Leone pdf value is stored; <alpha> is a number, parameter, or variable in the interval (0, 2) that specifies the first shape parameter; <beta> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the second shape parameter; <a> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the lower limit; <b> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the upper limit; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional. If <a> and <b> are omitted, they default to 0 and 1, respectively.

The default values for BETA1 and BETA2 are 0.5 and 10. The probability plot can then be used to estimate the lower and upper limits (lower limit = PPA0, upper limit = PPA0 + PPA1). The following options may be useful for these commands.
Kotz and Van Dorp describe an approximate maximum likelihood method for estimating the and parameters of the standard reflected generalized Topp and Leone distribution. It is assumed that the data are grouped into m intervals [xi-1,xi] where the ith interval has ni observations. The midpoint of the interval is denoted as . For unbinned data, the intervals consist of the individual observations (and the frequency is equal to 1). The total sample size, N is the sum of the ni. The parameter is the solution to the following equation:
where
The maximum likelihood estimate of is then:
If the data lie outside the (0,1) interval, then we first apply the transformation
To generate the approximate maximum likelihood estimates for ungrouped data in Dataplot, enter the command
For grouped data, enter one of the following commands
REFLECTED GENERALIZED TOPP AND LEONE MLE Y XLOW XHIGH In the first case, X denotes the mid-points of the bins and Y denotes the corresponding frequency. In the second case, XLOW denotes the lower end-points of the bins and XHIGH denotes the upper end-points of the bins. If the lower and upper limits are fixed and known, you can enter the following commands:
LET UPPLIMIT = <VALUE> For the unknown case, the minimum and maximum of the data will be used (an epsilon value will be subtracted/added to the minimum/maximum). Alternatively, you can use the estimates of the lower/upper limits generated by either the PPCC plot method or the KS plot methods and specify the LOWLIMIT and UPPLIMIT as above. To specify starting values for and , enter the commands
LET BETASV = <VALUE> For example, the estimates obtained from the PPCC plot or the KS plot can be used as starting values for the maximum likelihood estimates.
