retPer: Converts Return Periods to Probability and Vice Versa

In POT: Generalized Pareto Distribution and Peaks Over Threshold

Converts Return Periods to Probability and Vice Versa

Description

Compute return period from probability of non exceedance and vice versa.

Usage

rp2prob(retper, npy)
prob2rp(prob, npy)

Arguments

retper	The return period.
prob	the probability of non exceedance.
npy	The mean Number of events per year (block).

Details

The return period is defined by:

T = 1 / (npy (1-p))

where npy is the mean number of events per year (block), p is the probability of non exceedance.

Value

Returns a table with mean numbers of events per year, return periods and probabilities of non exceedance associated.
