  • Alpha,
  • Beta,
  • Cumulative

)

 

Parameters

  • x is the value for which you want the distribution.
  • Alpha is a parameter of the distribution \alpha.
  • Beta is a parameter of the distribution \beta\;(>0).
  • Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, NTGUMBELDIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function.
