GEVGF: Generalised extreme value distribution growth factors

Description

Estimated growth factors as a function of return period, with inputs of Lcv & LSkew (linear coefficient of variation & linear skewness)

Usage

GEVGF(lcv, lskew, RP)

Arguments

lcv

linear coefficient of variation

lskew

linear skewness

RP

return period

Value

Generalised extreme value estimated growth factor

Details

Growth factors are calculated by the method outlined in the Flood Estimation Handbook, volume 3, 1999.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
#Estimate the 50-year growth factors from Lcv = 0.1704 and Lskew = 0.0421
GEVGF(0.1704826, 0.04211332, RP = 50)
