Simulator for tweedie LSS models

Simulate random deviates from a Tweedie distribution with given parameters \(\mu\), \(p\), and \(\phi\). Works with vector values for all parameters, unlike the version on mgcv.

Usage

rtw(mu, p, phi)

Arguments

mu

numeric vector of mean values of Tweedie distribution.

p

numeric vector of values for the power parameter of the Tweedie distribution.

phi

numeric vector of values for the scale parameter \(\phi\) of the Tweedie distribution.

Details

Parameters must be finite numeric vectors of length one or a common nonzero length. Length-one parameters are expanded to the common length; partial recycling is not supported. If all parameters are empty, an empty numeric vector is returned; mixing empty and nonempty parameters is an error.
