This function estimates the L-moments of the Wakeby distribution given the parameters (\(\xi\), \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(\gamma\), and \(\delta\)) from parwak. The L-moments in terms of the parameters are complicated and solved numerically.
lmomwak(wakpara)An R
list is returned.
Vector of the L-moments. First element is \(\lambda_1\), second element is \(\lambda_2\), and so on.
Vector of the L-moment ratios. Second element is \(\tau\), third element is \(\tau_3\) and so on.
Level of symmetrical trimming used in the computation, which is 0.
Level of left-tail trimming used in the computation, which is NULL.
Level of right-tail trimming used in the computation, which is NULL.
An attribute identifying the computational source of the L-moments: “lmomwak”.
The parameters of the distribution.
