This function acts as a frontend to estimate an ensemble of parameters from the methods of L-moments (lmr2par
), maximum likelihood (MLE, mle2par
), and maximum product of spacings (MPS, mps2par
). The parameters estimated by the L-moments are used as the initial parameter guesses for the subsequent calls to MLE and MPS.
x2pars(x, verbose=TRUE, ...)
A list
having
Parameters from method of L-moments. This is expected to be NULL
if the method fails, and the NULL
is tested for in pars2x
.
Parameters from MLE. This is expected to be NULL
if the method fails, and the NULL
is tested for in pars2x
.
Parameters from MPS. This is expected to be NULL
if the method fails, and the NULL
is tested for in pars2x
.
A vector of data values.
A logical to control a sequential message ahead of each method.
The additional arguments, if ever used.
