In mev: Modelling of Extreme Values

Generalized extreme value distribution

Description

Likelihood, score function and information matrix, bias, approximate ancillary statistics and sample space derivative for the generalized extreme value distribution

Arguments

par	vector of loc, scale and shape
dat	sample vector
method	string indicating whether to use the expected ('exp') or the observed ('obs' - the default) information matrix.
V	vector calculated by gev.Vfun
n	sample size
p	vector of probabilities

Usage

gev.ll(par, dat)
gev.ll.optim(par, dat)
gev.score(par, dat)
gev.infomat(par, dat, method = c('obs','exp'))
gev.retlev(par, p)
gev.bias(par, n)
gev.Fscore(par, dat, method=c('obs','exp'))
gev.Vfun(par, dat)
gev.phi(par, dat, V)
gev.dphi(par, dat, V)

Functions

• gev.ll: log likelihood

• gev.ll.optim: negative log likelihood parametrized in terms of location, log(scale) and shape in order to perform unconstrained optimization

• gev.score: score vector

• gev.infomat: observed or expected information matrix

• gev.retlev: return level, corresponding to the (1-p)th quantile

• gev.bias: Cox-Snell first order bias

• gev.Fscore: Firth's modified score equation

• gev.Vfun: vector implementing conditioning on approximate ancillary statistics for the TEM

• gev.phi: canonical parameter in the local exponential family approximation

• gev.dphi: derivative matrix of the canonical parameter in the local exponential family approximation
