Extremal t: Extremal t process

Description

RPopitz defines an extremal t process.

Usage

RPopitz(phi, xi, mu, s, alpha)

Arguments

phi
an RMmodel; covariance model for a standardized Gaussian random fields, or the field itself.
xi,mu,s
the extreme value index, the location parameter and the scale parameter, respectively, of the generalized extreme value distribution. See Details.
alpha
originally referred to the $\alpha$-Frechet marginal distribution, see the original literature for details.

Details

The argument 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 default values of $mu$ and $s$ are $1$ and $z\xi$, respectively.

Examples

Run this code
RFoptions(seed=0, xi=0)
## seed=0: *ANY* simulation will have the random seed 0; set
##         RFoptions(seed=NA) to make them all random again
## xi=0: any simulated max-staable random field has extreme value index 0
StartExample()
x <- seq(0, 2, 0.01)
model <- RPopitz(RMgauss(), alpha=2)
z1 <- RFsimulate(model, x)
plot(z1, type="l")
