calc_returnValue_fevd

Calculates return value (also known as the return level) given return period(s) of interest, using model fit from <code>extRemes::fevd</code>. Standard error is obtained via the delta method. The return value is the value for which the expected number of blocks until an event that exceeds that value is equal to the return period. For non-stationary models (those that include covariates for the location, scale, and/or shape parameters, return values and standard errors are returned for as many sets of covariates as provided.

Functions for fitting GEV and POT (via point process fitting)
models for extremes in climate data, providing return values, return
probabilities, and return periods for stationary and nonstationary models.
Also provides differences in return values and differences in log return
probabilities for contrasts of covariate values. Functions for estimating risk
ratios for event attribution analyses, including uncertainty. Under the hood,
many of the functions use functions from 'extRemes', including for fitting the
statistical models. Details are given in Paciorek, Stone, and Wehner (2018)
