MomEst: Estimation of the GEV parameters by the Method of Moments
Description
Using the moment estimator, the function returns the parameter estimates
of the generalized extreme value distribution for a given dataset of extreme values.
Usage
MomEst(data, n)
Arguments
data
A vector of extreme values.
n
The number of observations.
Value
The returned object is a list with:
location
The location estimate.
scale
The scale estimate.
shape
The shape estimate.
