mc.quant: Compute GEV Quantiles from Markov Chains

Description

Compute gev quantiles from samples stored within a Markov chain, corresponding to specified probabilities in the upper tail.

Usage

mc.quant(post, p, lh = c("gev", "gpd"))

Value

A matrix with \(n\) rows and \(m\) columns, where \(n\) is the number of samples stored within the chain, and \(m\) is the length of the vector \(p\). If \(m = 1\) the dimension is dropped (i.e. a vector of length

\(n\) is returned). The (i,j)th entry contains the gev quantile coresponding to the upper tail probability p[j], evaluated at the parameters within sample i.

If a linear trend on the location has been implemented, the quantiles correspond to the distribution obtained when the trend parameter is zero.

Arguments

post

A Markov chain generated using posterior, containing samples of gev parameters.

p

A numeric vector of upper tail probabilities.

lh

Specify ``gev'' or ``gpd'' likelihood.
