fun.RPRS.lm: Fit RS generalised lambda distribution to data set using L...

fun.RPRS.lmR Documentation

Fit RS generalised lambda distribution to data set using L moment matching

Description

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

Usage

fun.RPRS.lm(data, rs.init = c(-1.5, 1.5), leap = 3, FUN = "runif.sobol", 
no = 10000)

Arguments

data

Dataset to be fitted

rs.init

Initial values for RS distribution optimization, c(-1.5,1.5) 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 L moment fitting scheme for RS 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 RS 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 parameters of the RS generalised lambda distribution.
