Extreme value stats
Description
Extreme value statistics for flood risk estimation.
Input: vector with annual discharge maxima (or all observations for POT approach).
Output: discharge estimates for given return periods,
parameters of several distributions (fit based on L-moments),
quality of fits, plot with linear/logarithmic axis.
(plotting positions by Weibull and Gringorton).
Usage
distLextreme(
dat = NULL,
dlf = NULL,
RPs = c(2, 5, 10, 20, 50),
npy = 1,
truncate = 0,
quiet = FALSE,
...
)
Arguments
dat
Vector with either (for Block Maxima Approach)
extreme values like annual discharge maxima or
(for Peak Over Threshold approach) all values in time-series.
Ignored if dlf is given. DEFAULT: NULL
dlf
List as returned by distLfit. See also
distLquantile. Overrides dat! DEFAULT: NULL
RPs
Return Periods (in years) for which discharge is estimated.
DEFAULT: c(2,5,10,20,50)
npy
Number of observations per year. Leave npy=1 if you
use annual block maxima (and leave truncate at 0).
If you use a POT approach (see vignette
and examples below) e.g. on daily data, use npy=365.24.
DEFAULT: 1
truncate
Truncated proportion to determine POT threshold,
see distLquantile. DEFAULT: 0
quiet
Suppress notes and progbars? DEFAULT: FALSE
...
Further arguments passed to distLquantile like truncate, selection,
time, progbars
Details
plotLextreme adds weibull and gringorton plotting positions
to the distribution lines, which are estimated from the L-moments of the data itself.
I personally believe that if you have, say, 35 values in dat,
the highest return period should be around 36 years (Weibull) and not 60 (Gringorton).
The plotting positions don't affect the distribution parameter estimation,
so this dispute is not really important.
But if you care, go ahead and google "weibull vs gringorton plotting positions".
Plotting positions are not used for fitting distributions, but for plotting only.
The ranks of ascendingly sorted extreme values are used to
compute the probability of non-exceedance Pn:
Pn_w <- Rank /(n+1) # Weibull
Pn_g <- (Rank-0.44)/(n+0.12) # Gringorton (taken from lmom:::evplot.default)
Finally: RP = Return period = recurrence interval = 1/P_exceedance = 1/(1-P_nonexc.), thus:
RPweibull = 1/(1-Pn_w) and analogous for gringorton.
Value
invisible dlf object, see printL.
The added element is returnlev, a data.frame with the return level (discharge)
for all given RPs and for each distribution.
Note that this differs from distLquantile (matrix output, not data.frame)
Note
This function replaces berryFunctions::extremeStatLmom
