are.parglo.valid: Are the Distribution Parameters Consistent with the Generalized Logistic Distribution
Description
The distribution parameter object returned by functions of this package such as by
parglo are consistent with the corresponding distribution,
otherwise a list would not have been returned. However, other
functions (cdfglo, quaglo, and
lmomglo require consistent parameters to return the cumulative
probability (nonexceedance), quantile, and L-moments of the distribution,
respectively. These functions internally use the are.parglo.valid
function. The FORTRAN source code of Hosking provides the basis
for the function.
Usage
are.parglo.valid(para,nowarn=FALSE)
Arguments
para
A distribution parameter list returned by parglo.
nowarn
A logical switch on warning surpression. If TRUE then options(warn=-1) is made and restored on return. This switch is to permit calls in which warnings are not desired as the user knows how to handle the returned value---say in a
Value
TRUEIf the parameters are glo consistent.
FALSEIf the parameters are not glo consistent.
