parlmrq {lmomco}

Estimate the Parameters of the Linear Mean Residual Quantile Function Distribution

Description

This function estimates the parameters of the Linear Mean Residual Quantile Function distribution given the L-moments of the data in an L-moment object such as that returned by lmoms. The relations between distribution parameters and L-moments are seen under lmomlmrq.

Usage

parlmrq(lmom, checklmom=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

lmom

An L-moment object created by lmoms or vec2lmom.

checklmom

Should the lmom be checked for validity using the are.lmom.valid function. Normally this should be left as the default.

...

Other arguments to pass.

Value

An R list is returned.

type

The type of distribution: lmrq.

para

The parameters of the distribution.

source

The source of the parameters: “parlmrq”.
