abic.gumbel: Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for Gumbel distribution

Description

The function abic.gumbel() gives the loglikelihood, AIC and BIC values assuming an Gumbel distribution with parameters mu and sigma.

Usage

abic.gumbel(x, mu.est, sigma.est)

Arguments

x

vector of observations

mu.est

estimate of the parameter mu

sigma.est

estimate of the parameter sigma

Value

The function abic.gumbel() gives the loglikelihood, AIC and BIC values.
