In GLDEX: Fitting Single and Mixture of Generalised Lambda Distributions

Fit FMKL generalised lambda distribution to data set using moment matching

Description

This function fits FMKL generalised lambda distribution to data set using moment matching

Usage

fun.RMFMKL.mm(data, fmkl.init = c(-0.25, 1.5), leap = 3, FUN = "runif.sobol", 
no = 10000)

Arguments

data	Dataset to be fitted
fmkl.init	Initial values for FMKL distribution optimization, c(-0.25,1.5) tends to work well.
leap	See scrambling argument in fun.gen.qrn.
FUN	A character string of either "runif.sobol" (default), "runif.sobol.owen", "runif.halton" or "QUnif".
no	Number of initial random values to find the best initial values for optimisation.

Details

This function provides method of moment fitting scheme for FMKL GLD. Note this function can fail if there are no defined percentiles from the data set or if the initial values do not lead to a valid FMKL generalised lambda distribution.

This function is based on scheme detailed in the literature below but it has been modified by the author (Steve Su).

Value

A vector representing four parametefmkl of the FMKL generalised lambda distribution.
