BrownResnick: Brown-Resnick process

Description

RPbrownresnick defines a Brown-Resnick process.

Usage

RPbrownresnick(phi, tcf, xi, mu, s)

Arguments

phi

specifies the covariance model or variogram, see RMmodel and RMmodelsAdvanced.

tcf

the extremal correlation function; either phi or tcf must be given.

xi, mu, s

the extreme value index, the location parameter and the scale parameter, respectively, of the generalized extreme value distribution. See Details.

Details

The extreme value index xi is always a number, i.e. $\xi$ is constant in space. In contrast, $\mu$ and $s$ might be constant numerical value or given a RMmodel, in particular by a RMtrend model.

The functions RPbrorig, RPbrshifted and RPbrmixed perform the simulation of a Brown-Resnick process, which is defined by $$Z(x) = \max_{i=1}^\infty X_i \exp(W_i(x) - \gamma^2),$$ where the $X_i$ are the points of a Poisson point process on the positive real half-axis with intensity $x^{-2} dx$, $W_i \sim W$ are iid centered Gaussian processes with stationary increments and variogram $\gamma$ given by model. For simulation, internally, one of the methods RPbrorig, RPbrshifted and RPbrmixed is chosen automatically.
