QMEDPOT {UKFE}

Empirical estimate of QMED from peaks over threshold (POT) data

Description

Estimates the median annual maximum flow (QMED) from peaks over threshold data

Usage

QMEDPOT(x, ppy)

Arguments

x

numerical vector. POT data

ppy

number of peaks per year in the POT data

Details

If there are multiple peaks per year, the peaks per year (ppy) argument is used to convert to the annual scale to derive QMED. If ppy is one, then the median of the POT sample is returned (the median of x).

#Extract some POT data and estimate QMED
ThamesPOT <- POTextract(ThamesPQ[,c(1,3)], thresh = 0.90)
QMEDPOT(ThamesPOT$peak, ppy = 1.867263)
