Alpha DistributionΒΆ
One shape parameters \(\alpha>0\) (parameter \(\beta\) in DATAPLOT is a scale-parameter). Standard form is \(x>0:\)
\begin{eqnarray*} f\left(x;\alpha\right) & = & \frac{1}{x^{2}\Phi\left(\alpha\right)\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2}\left(\alpha-\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}\right)\\ F\left(x;\alpha\right) & = & \frac{\Phi\left(\alpha-\frac{1}{x}\right)}{\Phi\left(\alpha\right)}\\ G\left(q;\alpha\right) & = & \left[\alpha-\Phi^{-1}\left(q\Phi\left(\alpha\right)\right)\right]^{-1}\end{eqnarray*}
\[M\left(t\right)=\frac{1}{\Phi\left(a\right)\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{e^{xt}}{x^{2}}\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2}\left(\alpha-\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}\right)dx\]
No moments?
\[l_{\mathbf{x}}\left(\alpha\right)=N\log\left[\Phi\left(\alpha\right)\sqrt{2\pi}\right]+2N\overline{\log\mathbf{x}}+\frac{N}{2}\alpha^{2}-\alpha\overline{\mathbf{x}^{-1}}+\frac{1}{2}\overline{\mathbf{x}^{-2}}\]
