Compute Select TL-moment ratios of the Generalized Logistic Distribution

Description

This function computes select TL-moment ratios of the Generalized Logistic distribution for defaults of \xi = 0 and \alpha = 1. This function can be useful for plotting the trajectory of the distribution on TL-moment ratio diagrams of \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_2, \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_3, \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_4, \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_5, and \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_6. In reality, \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_2 is dependent on the values for \xi and \alpha. If the message

Error in integrate(XofF, 0, 1) : the integral is probably divergent

occurs then careful adjustment of the shape parameter \kappa parameter range is very likely required. Remember that TL-moments with nonzero trimming permit computation of TL-moments into parameter ranges beyond those recognized for the usual (untrimmed) L-moments.

Usage

tlmrglo(trim=NULL, leftrim=NULL, rightrim=NULL,
        xi=0, alpha=1, kbeg=-.99, kend=0.99, by=.1)

Arguments

trim

Level of symmetrical trimming to use in the computations. Although NULL in the argument list, the default is 0—the usual L-moment ratios are returned.

leftrim

Level of trimming of the left-tail of the sample.

rightrim

Level of trimming of the right-tail of the sample.

xi

Location parameter of the distribution.

alpha

Scale parameter of the distribution.

kbeg

The beginning \kappa value of the distribution.

kend

The ending \kappa value of the distribution.

by

The increment for the seq() between kbeg and kend.

Value

An R list is returned.

tau2

A vector of the \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_2 values.

tau3

A vector of the \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_3 values.

tau4

A vector of the \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_4 values.

tau5

A vector of the \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_5 values.

tau6

A vector of the \tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_6 values.

Note

The function uses numerical integration of the quantile function of the distribution through the theoTLmoms function.
