L-moments of the Linear Mean Residual Quantile Function Distribution

Description

This function estimates the L-moments of the Linear Mean Residual Quantile Function distribution given the parameters (\mu and \alpha) from parlmrq. The first six L-moments in terms of the parameters are

\lambda_1 = \mu \mbox{,}

\lambda_2 = (\alpha + 3\mu)/6 \mbox{,}

\lambda_3 = 0 \mbox{,}

\lambda_4 = (\alpha + \mu)/12 \mbox{,}

\lambda_5 = (\alpha + \mu)/20 \mbox{, and}

\lambda_6 = (\alpha + \mu)/30 \mbox{.}

Because \alpha + \mu > 0, then \tau_3 > 0, so the distribution is positively skewed. The coefficient of L-variation is in the interval (1/3, 2/3).

Usage

lmomlmrq(para)

Arguments

para	The parameters of the distribution.

Value

An R list is returned.

lambdas	Vector of the L-moments. First element is \lambda_1, second element is \lambda_2, and so on.
ratios	Vector of the L-moment ratios. Second element is \tau, third element is \tau_3 and so on.
trim	Level of symmetrical trimming used in the computation, which is 0.
leftrim	Level of left-tail trimming used in the computation, which is NULL.
rightrim	Level of right-tail trimming used in the computation, which is NULL.
source	An attribute identifying the computational source of the L-moments: “lmomlmrq”.
