parlmrq: Estimate the Parameters of the Linear Mean Residual Quantile Function Distribution
Description
This function estimates the parameters of the Linear Mean Residual Quantile Function distribution given the L-moments of the data in an L-moment object such as that returned by lmoms. The relations between distribution parameters and L-moments are seen under lmomlmrq.
Usage
parlmrq(lmom, checklmom=TRUE, ...)
Value
An R
list is returned.
type
The type of distribution: lmrq.
para
The parameters of the distribution.
source
The source of the parameters: “parlmrq”.
Arguments
lmom
An L-moment object created by lmoms or vec2lmom.
checklmom
Should the lmom be checked for validity using the are.lmom.valid function. Normally this should be left as the default.
...
Other arguments to pass.
