explore {climwin}

Visualise the weight distribution for given parameter values

Description

Create a plot of the Weibull or Generalised Extreme Values (GEV) distribution for given values of shape, scale and location parameters. Used to determine initial parameter values for weightwin.

Usage

explore(shape = 1, scale = 1, loc = 0, weightfunc = "W")

Arguments

shape

A parameter that determines the shape of the distribution. Should be greater than 0.

scale

A parameter that determines the scale of the distribution. Should be greater than 0.

loc

A parameter that determines the location of the distribution. Should be less than or equal to 0.

weightfunc

Choose whether to use a weibull ("W") or GEV ("G") distribution.

Value

explore will return an example plot of the distribution using given parameter values. This can be used to select the initial parameter values for weightwin

Examples

# Test a weibull distribution

explore(shape = 3, scale = 0.2, loc = 0, weightfunc = "W")

# Test a GEV distribution

explore(shape = 3, scale = 5, loc = -5, weightfunc = "G")
