decluster {evir}

Decluster Point Process

Description

Declusters clustered point process data so that Poisson assumption is more tenable over a high threshold.

Usage

decluster(series, run = NA, picture = TRUE)

Arguments

series

a numeric vector of threshold exceedances with a times attribute which should be a numeric vector containing either the indices or the times/dates of each exceedance (if times/dates, the attribute should be an object of class "POSIXct" or an object that can be converted to that class; see as.POSIXct)

run

parameter to be used in the runs method; any two consecutive threshold exceedances separated by more than this number of observations/days are considered to belong to different clusters

picture

whether or not a picture of declustering should be drawn

Value

The declustered object.
