Linear Combinations of Ratios of Spacings estimation of generalised Pareto
parameters
Description
Uses the Linear Combinations of Ratios of Spacings (LRS) methodology of
(Reiss and Thomas, 2007, page 134) to estimate the parameters of the
generalised Pareto (GP) distribution, based on a sample of positive values.
Usage
gp_lrs(x)
Arguments
x
A numeric vector containing only positive values, assumed
to be a random sample from a generalized Pareto distribution.
Value
A numeric vector of length 2. The estimates of the scale parameter
\sigma and the shape parameter \xi.
