Fréchet (ExtremeLB, Extreme Value II, Weibull minimum) Distribution

A type of extreme-value distribution with a lower bound. Defined for $x>0$ and $c>0$

$$\begin{eqnarray*} f\left(x;c\right) & = & cx^{c-1}\exp\left(-x^{c}\right)\\ F\left(x;c\right) & = & 1-\exp\left(-x^{c}\right)\\ G\left(q;c\right) & = & \left[-\log\left(1-q\right)\right]^{1/c}\end{eqnarray*}$$

$$\mu_{n}^{\prime}=\Gamma\left(1+\frac{n}{c}\right)$$

$$\begin{eqnarray*} \mu & = & \Gamma\left(1+\frac{1}{c}\right)\\ \mu_{2} & = & \Gamma\left(1+\frac{2}{c}\right)-\Gamma^{2}\left(1-\frac{1}{c}\right)\\ \gamma_{1} & = & \frac{\Gamma\left(1+\frac{3}{c}\right)-3\Gamma\left(1+\frac{2}{c}\right)\Gamma\left(1+\frac{1}{c}\right)+2\Gamma^{3}\left(1+\frac{1}{c}\right)}{\mu_{2}^{3/2}}\\ \gamma_{2} & = & \frac{\Gamma\left(1+\frac{4}{c}\right)-4\Gamma\left(1+\frac{1}{c}\right)\Gamma\left(1+\frac{3}{c}\right)+6\Gamma^{2}\left(1+\frac{1}{c}\right)\Gamma\left(1+\frac{2}{c}\right)-\Gamma^{4}\left(1+\frac{1}{c}\right)}{\mu_{2}^{2}}-3\\ m_{d} & = & \left(\frac{c}{1+c}\right)^{1/c}\\ m_{n} & = & G\left(\frac{1}{2};c\right)\end{eqnarray*}$$

$$h\left[X\right]=-\frac{\gamma}{c}-\log\left(c\right)+\gamma+1$$

where $\gamma$ is Euler’s constant and equal to

$$\gamma\approx0.57721566490153286061.$$
