QMEDPOT: Empirical estimate of QMED from peaks over threshold (POT) data
Description
Estimates the median annual maximum flow (QMED) from peaks over threshold data
Usage
QMEDPOT(x, ppy)
Arguments
x
numerical vector. POT data
ppy
number of peaks per year in the POT data
Details
If there are multiple peaks per year, the peaks per year (ppy) argument is used to convert to the annual scale to derive QMED. If ppy is one, then the median of the POT sample is returned (the median of x).
