gevp: Posterior Distribution with Parameters of GEV

In MCMC4Extremes: Posterior Distribution of Extreme Value Models in R

Description

MCMC runs of posterior distribution of data with parameters of Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) density, with parameters mu, sigma and xi.

Usage

gevp(data, block, int=1000)

Arguments

X

data	data vector
block	the block size. A numeric value is interpreted as the number of data values in each successive block. All the data is used, so the last block may not contain block observations
int	Number of iteractions selected in MCMC. The program selects 1 in each 10 iteraction, then thin=10. The first thin*int/3 iteractions is used as burn-in. After that, is runned thin*int iteraction, in which 1 of thin is selected for the final MCMC chain, resulting the number of int iteractions.

Value

An object of class gevp that gives a list containing the points of posterior distributions of mu, sigma and xi of the gev distribution, the data, mean posterior, median posterior and the credibility interval of the parameters.

Note

The non-informative prior distribution of these parameters are Normal(0,1000) for the parameter mu, Gamma(0.001,0.001) for the parameter sigma and Normal(0,100) for parameter xi. During the MCMC runs, screen shows the proportion of iteractions made.
