EVPool: Extreme value plot for pooling groups

In UKFE: UK Flood Estimation

Extreme value plot for pooling groups

Description

Plots the extreme value frequency curve or growth curve for gauged or ungauged pooled groups

Usage

EVPool(
  x,
  AMAX = NULL,
  gauged = FALSE,
  dist = "GenLog",
  QMED = NULL,
  Title = "Pooled growth curve",
  UrbAdj = FALSE,
  CDs
)

Arguments

x	pooling group derived from the Pool() function
AMAX	the AMAX sample to be plotted in the case of gauged. If NULL, & gauged equals TRUE, the AMAX from the first site in the pooling group is used
gauged	logical argument with a default of FALSE. If FALSE, the plot is the ungauged pooled curve accompanied by the single site curves of the group members. If TRUE, the plot is the gauged curve and single site curve with the observed points added
dist	a choice of distribution. Choices are "GEV", "GenLog", "Kappa3", or "Gumbel". The default is "GenLog"
QMED	a chosen QMED to convert the curve from a growth curve to the frequency curve
Title	a character string. The user chosen plot title. The default is "Pooled growth curve"
UrbAdj	a logical argument with a default of FALSE. If TRUE an urban adjustment is applied to the pooled growth curve
CDs	catchment descriptors derived from either GetCDs or CDsXML. Only necessary if UrbAdj is TRUE

Value

An extreme value plot for gauged or ungauged pooling groups

Examples

# Get some CDs, form an ungauged pooling group and apply EVPool
cds_28015 <- GetCDs(28015)
pool_28015 <- Pool(cds_28015, exclude = 28015)
EVPool(pool_28015)

# Do the same for the gauged case, change the title, and convert with a QMED of 9.8
pool_g_28015 <- Pool(cds_28015)
EVPool(pool_g_28015, gauged = TRUE, Title = "Gauged frequency curve - Site 28015", QMED = 9.8)
