prob2grv: Convert a Vector of Annual Nonexceedance Probabilities to Gumbel Reduced Variates

Description

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.

Usage

prob2grv(f)

Value

A vector of Gumbel reduced variates.

Arguments

f

A vector of annual nonexceedance probabilities.
