RIGCHAZ

Name:
    RIGCHAZ (LET)
Type:
    Library Function
Purpose:
    Compute the reciprocal inverse Gaussian cumulative hazard function with shape parameters gamma and mu.
Description:
    The reciprocal inverse Gaussian distribution is the distribution of (1/X) when X has an inverse Gaussian distribution. It has the following cumulative hazard function:

      H(x;gamma,mu) = -LOG[1 - RIGCDF(x;gamma,mu)] x >= 0; gamma, mu > 0

    with gamma and mu denoting the shape parameters and RIGCDF denoting the reciprocal inverse Gaussian cumulative distribution function.

    The reciprocal inverse Gaussian distribution can be generalized with location and scale parameters in the usual way.

Syntax:
    LET <y> = RIGCHAZ(<x>,<gamma>,<mu>,<loc>,<scale>)
                            <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <x> is a variable or a parameter;
                <gamma> is number or parameter that specifies the first shape parameter;
                <mu> is number or parameter that specifies the second shape parameter;
                <loc> is number or parameter that specifies the location parameter;
                <scale> is number or parameter that specifies the scale parameter;
                <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed reciprocal inverse Gaussian cumulative hazard value is stored;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

    Note that the location and scale parameters are optional.

Examples:
    LET A = RIGCHAZ(3,2,1)
    LET A = RIGCHAZ(A1,2,1)
    LET X2 = RIGCHAZ(X1,2,3)
    PLOT RIGCHAZ(X,2,1.5) FOR X = 0.1 0.1 5
