lmomnor: L-moments of the Normal Distribution

Description

This function estimates the L-moments of the Normal distribution given the parameters (\(\mu\) and \(\sigma\)) from parnor. The L-moments in terms of the parameters are \(\lambda_1 = \mu\), \(\lambda_2 = \sigma / \sqrt{pi}\), \(\tau_3 = 0\), \(\tau_4 = 0.122602\), and \(\tau_5 = 0\).

Usage

lmomnor(para)

Value

An R

list is returned.

lambdas

Vector of the L-moments. First element is \(\lambda_1\), second element is \(\lambda_2\), and so on.

ratios

Vector of the L-moment ratios. Second element is \(\tau\), third element is \(\tau_3\) and so on.

trim

Level of symmetrical trimming used in the computation, which is 0.

leftrim

Level of left-tail trimming used in the computation, which is NULL.

rightrim

Level of right-tail trimming used in the computation, which is NULL.

source

An attribute identifying the computational source of the L-moments: “lmomnor”.

Arguments

para

The parameters of the distribution.
