Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

Density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random number generation for the extreme value mixture model with log-normal for bulk distribution upto the threshold and conditional GPD above threshold with continuity at threshold. The parameters are the log-normal mean lnmean and standard deviation lnsd, threshold u GPD shape xi and tail fraction phiu.

Details

Extreme value mixture model combining log-normal distribution for the bulk below the threshold and GPD for upper tailwith continuity at threshold.

The user can pre-specify phiu permitting a parameterised value for the tail fraction φ_u. Alternatively, when phiu=TRUE the tail fraction is estimated as the tail fraction from the log-normal bulk model.

The cumulative distribution function with tail fraction φ_u defined by the upper tail fraction of the log-normal bulk model (phiu=TRUE), upto the threshold 0 < x ≤ u, given by:

F(x) = H(x)

and above the threshold x > u:

F(x) = H(u) + [1 - H(u)] G(x)

where H(x) and G(X) are the log-normal and conditional GPD cumulative distribution functions (i.e. plnorm(x, lnmean, lnsd) and pgpd(x, u, sigmau, xi)) respectively.

The cumulative distribution function for pre-specified φ_u, upto the threshold 0 < x ≤ u, is given by:

F(x) = (1 - φ_u) H(x)/H(u)

and above the threshold x > u:

F(x) = φ_u + [1 - φ_u] G(x)

Notice that these definitions are equivalent when φ_u = 1 - H(u).

The log-normal is defined on the positive reals, so the threshold must be positive.

The continuity constraint means that (1 - φ_u) h(u)/H(u) = φ_u g(u) where h(x) and g(x) are the log-normal and conditional GPD density functions (i.e. dlnorm(x, lnmean, lnsd) and dgpd(x, u, sigmau, xi)) respectively. The resulting GPD scale parameter is then:

σ_u = φ_u H(u) / [1 - φ_u] h(u)

. In the special case of where the tail fraction is defined by the bulk model this reduces to

σ_u = [1 - H(u)] / h(u)

.

See gpd for details of GPD upper tail component and dlnorm for details of log-normal bulk component.

Value

dlognormgpdcon gives the density, plognormgpdcon gives the cumulative distribution function, qlognormgpdcon gives the quantile function and rlognormgpdcon gives a random sample.

Note

All inputs are vectorised except log and lower.tail. The main inputs (x, p or q) and parameters must be either a scalar or a vector. If vectors are provided they must all be of the same length, and the function will be evaluated for each element of vector. In the case of rlognormgpdcon any input vector must be of length n.

Default values are provided for all inputs, except for the fundamentals x, q and p. The default sample size for rlognormgpdcon is 1.

Missing (NA) and Not-a-Number (NaN) values in x, p and q are passed through as is and infinite values are set to NA. None of these are not permitted for the parameters.

Error checking of the inputs (e.g. invalid probabilities) is carried out and will either stop or give warning message as appropriate.
