parTLgpa: Estimate the Parameters of the Generalized Pareto Distribution using Trimmed L-moments

Description

This function estimates the parameters of the Generalized Pareto distribution given the the trimmed L-moments (TL-moments) for $t=1$ of the data in TL-moment object with a trim level of unity (trim=1). The parameters are computed as

$$\kappa = \frac{10-45\tau_3}{9\tau_3+10} \mbox{,}$$ $$\alpha = \frac{1}{6}\lambda_2(\kappa+2)(\kappa+3)(\kappa+4) \mbox{, and}$$ $$\xi = \lambda_1 - \frac{\alpha(\kappa+5)}{(\kappa+2)(\kappa+3)} \mbox{.}$$

Usage

parTLgpa(lmom)

Arguments

lmom
A TL-moment object created by TLmoms.

Value

  • An R list is returned.
  • typeThe type of distribution: gpa.
  • paraThe parameters of the distribution.
  • sourceThe source of the parameters: parTLgpa.
