qqextcoeff: QQ-plot for the extremal coefficient

In SpatialExtremes: Modelling Spatial Extremes

QQ-plot for the extremal coefficient

Description

This function compares the extremal coefficients estimated from a fitted max-stable process to the ones estimated semi-parametrically.

Usage

qqextcoeff(fitted, estim = "ST", marge = "emp", xlab = "Semi-Empirical",
ylab = "Model", ...)

Arguments

fitted	An object of class maxstab. Most often, this will be the output of fitmaxstab, fitcovmat or fitcovariance.
estim,marge	The estim and marge options to be passed to the fitextcoeff function.
xlab,ylab	The x and y-axis labels.
...	Optional arguments to be passed to the plot function.

Value

A QQ-plot.

Examples

##Define the coordinate of each location
n.site <- 30
locations <- matrix(runif(2*n.site, 0, 10), ncol = 2)
colnames(locations) <- c("lon", "lat")

##Simulate a max-stable process - with unit Frechet margins
data <- rmaxstab(50, locations, cov.mod = "gauss", cov11 = 10, cov12 =
5, cov22 = 22)

fitted <- fitmaxstab(data, locations, "gauss")
qqextcoeff(fitted)
