The Generalized Error Distribution

Description

Random generation for the Generalized Error distribution with parameters mu, sigma and p.

This generator is called by function gensample to create random variables based on its parameters.

Details

If mu, sigma and p are not specified they assume the default values of 0, 1 and 1, respectively.

The Generalized Error distribution with parameters mu = μ, sigma = σ and p = p has density:

f(x) = 1/(2p^(1/p) Γ(1 + 1/p) σ) e^-(1/(p σ^p) |x - μ|^p)
