17.9 Frechet distribution
17.9.1 Probability density function
If \(\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^+\) and \(\sigma \in \mathbb{R}^+\), then for \(y \in \mathbb{R}^+\), \[ \text{Frechet}(y|\alpha,\sigma) = \frac{\alpha}{\sigma} \, \left( \frac{y}{\sigma} \right)^{-\alpha - 1} \, \exp \! \left( \! - \left( \frac{y}{\sigma} \right)^{-\alpha} \right) . \]
Note that if \(Y \propto \text{Frechet}(\alpha,\sigma)\), then \(Y^{-1} \propto \text{Weibull}(\alpha,\sigma^{-1})\).
