The Frechet Distribution

Description

Random generation for the Frechet distribution with parameters mu, sigma and alpha.

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

Details

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

The Frechet distribution with parameters mu = μ, sigma = σ and alpha = α has density:

f(x) = α/σ ((x - μ)/σ)_{+}^{-α - 1} e^-[((x - μ)/σ)^(-α)]
