are.pargov.valid: Are the Distribution Parameters Consistent with the Govindarajulu Distribution
Description
Is the distribution parameter object consistent with the corresponding distribution? The distribution functions (cdfgov, pdfgov, quagov, and
lmomgov) require consistent parameters to return the cumulative
probability (nonexceedance), density, quantile, and L-moments of the distribution,
respectively. These functions internally use the are.pargov.valid
function.
Usage
are.pargov.valid(para, nowarn=FALSE)
Value
TRUE
If the parameters are gov consistent.
FALSE
If the parameters are not gov consistent.
Arguments
para
A distribution parameter list returned by pargov or vec2par.
nowarn
A logical switch on warning suppression. 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 an optimization algorithm.
