ralmomco: Alpha-Percentile Residual Quantile Function of the Distributions

Description

This function computes the \(\alpha\)-Percentile Residual Quantile Function for quantile function \(x(F)\) (par2qua, qlmomco). The function is defined by Nair and Vineshkumar (2011, p. 85) and Nair et al. (2013, p. 56) as $$P_\alpha(u) = x(1 - [1-\alpha][1-u]) - x(u)\mbox{,}$$ where \(P_\alpha(u)\) is the \(\alpha\)-percentile residual quantile for nonexceedance probability \(u\) and percentile \(\alpha\) and \(x(u)\) is a constant for \(x(F = u)\). The reversed \(\alpha\)-percentile residual quantile is available under rralmomco.

Usage

ralmomco(f, para, alpha=0)

Value

\(\alpha\)-percentile residual quantile value for \(F\).

Arguments

f

Nonexceedance probability (\(0 \le F \le 1\)).

para

The parameters from lmom2par or vec2par.

alpha

The \(\alpha\) percentile, which is divided by \(100\) inside the function ahead of calling the quantile function of the distribution.
