This function converts a vector of annual nonexceedance probabilities \(F\) to Gumbel reduced variates (GRV, \(grv\); Hosking and Wallis [1997, p. 92])
$$grv = -\log(-\log(F))\mbox{,}$$
where \(0 \le F \le 1\). The Gumbel distribution (quagum
), which is a special case of the Generalized Extreme Value (quagev
), will plot as a straightline when the horizontal axis is GRV transformed.
