Mode

tukey-lambda distribution mode.

The mode for a tukey-lambda distribution with shape parameter λ is

$$\mathop{\mathrm{mode}}\left( X \right) = 0$$

Usage

var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/tukey-lambda/mode' );

mode( lambda )

Returns the mode for a tukey-lambda distribution with shape parameter lambda.

var y = mode( 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

y = mode( 2.0 );
// returns 0.0

If provided NaN, the function returns NaN.

var y = mode( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console/log-each-map' );
var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/tukey-lambda/mode' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var lambda = uniform( 10, 0.1, 20.0, opts );

logEachMap( 'λ: %lf, mode(X;λ): %lf', lambda, mode );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/tukey-lambda/mode.h"

stdlib_base_dists_tukey_lambda_mode( lambda )

Returns the mode for a tukey-lambda distribution with shape parameter lambda.

double out = stdlib_base_dists_tukey_lambda_mode( 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

• lambda: [in] double shape parameter.

double stdlib_base_dists_tukey_lambda_mode( const double lambda );

Examples

#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/tukey-lambda/mode.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static double random_uniform( const double min, const double max ) {
    double v = (double)rand() / ( (double)RAND_MAX + 1.0 );
    return min + ( v*(max-min) );
}

int main( void ) {
    double lambda;
    double y;
    int i;

    for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
        lambda = random_uniform( 0.1, 20.0 );
        y = stdlib_base_dists_tukey_lambda_mode( lambda );
        printf( "λ: %lf, mode(X;λ): %lf\n", lambda, y );
    }
}
