Parameter of generalized Pareto distributions

Description

The class of the parameter of generalized Pareto distribution.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("GEVParameter", ...).

Slots

loc

real number: location parameter of a GEV distribution.

scale

real number: scale parameter of a GEV distribution.

shape

real number: shape parameter of a GEV distribution.

name

default name is “parameter of a GEV distribution”.

Extends

Class "Parameter", directly.
Class "OptionalParameter", by class "Parameter".

Methods

loc

signature(object = "GEVParameter"): access method for slot loc.

Examples

P <- new("GEVParameter")
loc(P)
## same as
location(P)
scale(P)
shape(P)

scale(P) <- 2
location(P) <- 4
shape(P) <- -1 # may be negative!
