parsla {lmomco}

Estimate the Parameters of the Slash Distribution

Description

This function estimates the parameters of the Slash distribution from the trimmed L-moments (TL-moments) having trim level 1. The relations between distribution parameters and TL-moments are shown under lmomsla.

Usage

parsla(lmom, ...)

Arguments

lmom

A TL-moment object from TLmoms with trim=1.

...

Other arguments to pass.

Value

An R list is returned.

type

The type of distribution: sla.

para
