Equations

Distribution Definition

$$X\sim \mathrm{Burr}(A,B,C)$$

Distribution Domain

$$x\in [0,\mathrm{\infty })$$

Parameters Domain and Constraints

$$A\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+},B\in \mathbb{R},C\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$$

Cumulative Distribution Function

$$F_X\left(x\right)=1-{[1+{\left(\frac{x}{A}\right)}^B]}^{-C}$$

Probability Density Function

$$f_X\left(x\right)=\frac{BC}{A}{\left(\frac{x}{A}\right)}^{B-1}{[1+{\left(\frac{x}{A}\right)}^B]}^{-C-1}$$

Percent Point Function / Sample

$$F_X^{-1}\left(u\right)=A{[(1-u{)}^{-\frac{1}{c}}-1]}^{\frac{1}{B}}$$

Parametric Centered Moments

$${\mu }_k^{\prime }=E[X^k]={\int }_0^{\mathrm{\infty }}{x}^k{f}_X\left(x\right)dx=A^{k}C\times \text{Beta}(\frac{BC-k}{B},\frac{B+K}{B})$$

Parametric Mean

$$\mathrm{Mean}(X)={\mu }_1^{\prime }$$

Parametric Variance

$$\mathrm{Variance}(X)={\mu }_2^{\prime }-{\mu }_1^{\prime 2}$$

Parametric Skewness

$$\mathrm{Skewness}(X)=\frac{{\mu }_3^{\prime }-3{\mu }_2^{\prime }{\mu }_1^{\prime }+2{\mu }_1^{\prime 3}}{({\mu }_2^{\prime }-{\mu }_1^{\prime 2}{)}^{1.5}}$$

Parametric Kurtosis

$$\mathrm{Kurtosis}(X)=\frac{{\mu }_4^{\prime }-4{\mu }_1^{\prime }{\mu }_3^{\prime }+6{\mu }_1^{\prime 2}{\mu }_2^{\prime }-3{\mu }_1^{\prime 4}}{({\mu }_2^{\prime }-{\mu }_1^{\prime 2}{)}^2}$$

Parametric Median

$$\mathrm{Median}(X)=A{[{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{-\frac{1}{c}}-1]}^{\frac{1}{B}}$$

Parametric Mode

$$\mathrm{Mode}(X)=A{\left(\frac{B-1}{BC+1}\right)}^{\frac{1}{B}}$$
