eweibull: Expectiles of Weibull distribution

In AntoineUC/Expectrem: Bias-reduced estimation of extreme value index and extreme quantiles, expectiles and Expected Shortfalls

Expectiles of Weibull distribution

Description

This function computes the expectiles of the Weibull distribution.

Usage

  eweibull(probs, k, start.pt="quantile", tol=1e-08, maxiter=100, x0=NULL)

Arguments

probs	Numeric vector of probabilities with values in (0,1).
k	Shape parameter strictly positive.
start.pt	Choice of the starting points. Mean of the Weibull distribution if "mean", quantiles (levels probs) of the Weibull distribution if "quantile". The starting point is chosen manually if "custom".
tol	Tolerance in the stopping criterion. Default: 1e-08.
maxiter	Maximum number of iterations. Default: 100.
x0	Value of the starting point (only if start.pt="custom").

Details

The considered distribution has c.s.f. exp(-y^k) for y>0.
