are.lmom.valid: Are the L-moments valid

Description

The second through fifth order L-moments are perhaps the most common in analysis situations. These L-moments have particular constraints on magnitudes and relation to each other. This function evaluates and L-moment object whether: L-scale ($\lambda_2 > 0$), ($L-skew (\eqn{|\tau_3| < 1)}, L-kurtosis (\eqn{0.25(5\tau_3^2 - 1) \le \tau_4 < 1}), and \eqn{|\tau_5| < 1}.$ are.lmom.valid(lmom) lmom{A L-moment object created by lmom.ub or pwm2lmom.} TRUE{L-moments are valid.} FALSE{L-moments are not valid.} Hosking, J.R.M., 1990, L-moments---Analysis and estimation of distributions using linear combinations of order statistics: Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B, vol. 52, p. 105-124.
