Test of fit for the generalized Pareto distribution (gPd) with unknown parameters by Villasenor-Alva and Gonzalez-Estrada (2009).

|
x |
numeric data vector containing a random sample of positive real numbers. |
B |
number of bootstrap samples used to approximate p-values. Default is |
This bootstrap test for the null hypothesis H_0: a random sample has a gPd with unknown shape parameter gamma is an intersection-union test for the hypotheses H_0^-: a random sample has a gPd with gamma <0 , and H_0^+: a random sample has a gPd with gamma >=0. Thus, heavy and non-heavy tailed gPd's are included in the null hypothesis. The parametric bootstrap is performed on gamma for each of the two hypotheses.
The gPd function with unknown shape and scale parameters gamma and sigma is given by
F(x) = 1 - [ 1 + gamma x / sigma ]^(-1/gamma),
where gamma is a real number, sigma > 0 and 1 + gamma x / sigma > 0. When gamma = 0, F(x) becomes the exponential distribution with scale parameter sigma:
1-exp(-x/sigma).
