nlulognormgpd(pvector, u, x, phiu = TRUE, finitelik = FALSE)

Arguments

x

vector of sample data

phiu

probability of being above threshold (0, 1) or logical, see Details in help for fnormgpd

useq

vector of thresholds (or scalar) to be considered in profile likelihood or NULL for no profile likelihood

fixedu

logical, should threshold be fixed (at either scalar value in useq, or estimated from maximum of profile likelihood evaluated at sequence of thresholds in useq)

pvector

vector of initial values of parameters or NULL for default values, see below

std.err

logical, should standard errors be calculated

method

optimisation method (see optim)

control

optimisation control list (see optim)

finitelik

logical, should log-likelihood return finite value for invalid parameters

...

optional inputs passed to optim

lnmean

scalar mean on log scale

lnsd

scalar standard deviation on log scale (positive)

u

scalar threshold value

sigmau

scalar scale parameter (positive)

xi

scalar shape parameter

log

logical, if TRUE then log-likelihood rather than likelihood is output

Details

The extreme value mixture model with log-normal bulk and GPD tail is fitted to the entire dataset using maximum likelihood estimation. The estimated parameters, variance-covariance matrix and their standard errors are automatically output.

See help for fnormgpd for details, type help fnormgpd. Only the different features are outlined below for brevity.

The full parameter vector is (lnmean, lnsd, u, sigmau, xi) if threshold is also estimated and (lnmean, lnsd, sigmau, xi) for profile likelihood or fixed threshold approach.

Non-positive data are ignored.

Value

Log-likelihood is given by llognormgpd and it's wrappers for negative log-likelihood from nllognormgpd and nlulognormgpd. Profile likelihood for single threshold given by proflulognormgpd. Fitting function flognormgpd returns a simple list with the following elements

call: optim call
x: data vector x
init: pvector
fixedu: fixed threshold, logical
useq: threshold vector for profile likelihood or scalar for fixed threshold
nllhuseq: profile negative log-likelihood at each threshold in useq
optim: complete optim output
mle: vector of MLE of parameters
cov: variance-covariance matrix of MLE of parameters
se: vector of standard errors of MLE of parameters
rate: phiu to be consistent with evd
nllh: minimum negative log-likelihood
n: total sample size
lnmean: MLE of log-normal mean
lnsd: MLE of log-normal shape
u: threshold (fixed or MLE)
sigmau: MLE of GPD scale
xi: MLE of GPD shape
phiu: MLE of tail fraction (bulk model or parameterised approach)
se.phiu: standard error of MLE of tail fraction
