parcauR Documentation

Estimate the Parameters of the Cauchy Distribution

Description

This function estimates the parameters of the Cauchy distribution from the trimmed L-moments (TL-moments) having trim level 1. The relations between distribution parameters and the TL-moments (trim=1) are seen under lmomcau.

Usage

parcau(lmom, ...)

Arguments

lmom

A TL-moment object from TLmoms with trim=1.

...

Other arguments to pass.

Value

An R list is returned.

type

The type of distribution: cau.

para

The parameters of the distribution.

source

The source of the parameters: “parcau”.
