GumbelPDF Routines
Summary
Gumbel PDF.

Unit
Probabilities

Declaration
Function GumbelPDF(x: TSample; mu, beta: Tsample; minimum: boolean): TSample;
 Parameter  Description 
Defines distribution parameter, valid on [0,INF) interval. 
mu Defines the location parameter. 
beta Defines the scale parameter. Beta must be positive scalar. 
minimum If true, th routine calculates minimum Gumbel PDF. If false, the routine calculates maximum Gumbel PDF. 
Result
the Gumbel probability density function (PDF) for value x by using parameters mu and beta.
Description
Calculates Gumbel (minimum or maximum) distribution probabilty density function, defined by the following equation:

The Gumbel distribution is a special case of the Generalized Extreme Value distribution. It used in industry in QA/QC applications and in the environmental sciences to model extreme values associated with flooding and rainfall. The Gumbel distribution takes its name from Emil J. Gumbel. Parameters:Support: x: (-INF,INF)
Categories
Continuous probabilities

Declaration
Procedure GumbelPDF(X: TDenseMtxVec; mu, beta: TSample; minimum: boolean; Res: TDenseMtxVec);

Description
Calculates the Gumbel PDF for vector X using the parameters A and B. The results are stored in vector Res. The Res Length and Complex properties are adjusted automatically. If vector X is complex, an exception is raised.
