Compute the Density of the Extremal Index
Description
Compute the density of the extremal index using simulations from a fitted markov chain model.
Usage
dexi(x, n.sim = 1000, n.mc = length(x$data), plot = TRUE, ...)
Arguments
x |
A object of class |
n.sim |
The number of simulation of Markov chains. |
n.mc |
The length of the simulated Markov chains. |
plot |
Logical. If |
... |
Optional parameters to be passed to the
|
Details
The Markov chains are simulated using the simmc
function to obtained dependent realisations u_i of standard
uniform realizations. Then, they are transformed to correspond to the
parameter of the fitted markov chain model. Thus, if u, \sigma,
\xi is the location, scale and shape parameters ; and
\lambda is the probability of exceedance of u,
then by defining :
\sigma_* = \xi \times \frac{u}{\lambda^{-\xi} - 1}
the realizations y_i = qgpd(u_i, 0, \sigma_*, \xi) are distributed such as the probability
of exceedance of u is equal to \lambda.
At last, the extremal index for each generated Markov chain is estimated using the estimator of Ferro and Segers (2003) (and thus avoid any declusterization).
Value
The function returns a optionally plot of the kernel density estimate of the extremal index. In addition, the vector of extremal index estimations is returned invisibly.
