fitpot {ercv}

Fits peaks-over-threshold model of a sample

Description

Fits peaks-over-threshold model of a sample.

Usage

fitpot(data, threshold=NA, nextremes=NA, evi=NA)

Arguments

data

a numeric vector.

threshold

a threshold value (either this or nextremes must be given but not both).

nextremes

the number of upper extremes to be used (either this or threshold must be given but not both).

evi

extreme value index. In particular, the shape parammeter of a generalized Pareto distribution.

Value

A data.frame with the following columns:

• evi extreme value index. In particular, the shape parammeter of a generalized Pareto distribution.

• psi the scale parameter of a generalized Pareto distribution.

• threshold a threshold value where peaks-over-threshold is applied.

• prob proportion of size of data corresponding to the upper extremes modelled with generalized pareto distribution.
