Equations

Distribution Definition

$$X\sim \mathrm{Reciprocal}(a,b)$$

Distribution Domain

$$x\in [a,b]$$

Parameters Domain and Constraints

$$a\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+},b\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+},a<b$$

Cumulative Distribution Function

$$F_X\left(x\right)=\frac{\ln (x)-\ln (a)}{\ln (b)-\ln (a)}$$

Probability Density Function

$$f_X\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{x(\ln (b)-\ln (a))}$$

Percent Point Function / Sample

$$F_X^{-1}\left(u\right)=\exp (\ln (a)+u\times (\ln (b)-\ln (a)))$$

Parametric Centered Moments

$${\mu }_k^{\prime }=E[X^k]={\int }_a^b{x}^k{f}_X\left(x\right)dx=\frac{b^k-a^k}{k(\ln (b)-\ln (a))}$$

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

$$\mathrm{Median}(X)=\exp [\ln (a)+\frac{(\ln (b)-\ln (a))}{2}]$$

Parametric Mode

$$\mathrm{Mode}(X)=a$$
