Quantile Function of the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution
Description
This function computes the quantiles of the Generalized Extreme Value distribution given parameters (,
, and
) of the distribution computed by
pargev
. The quantile function of the distribution is
for , and
for , where
is the quantile for nonexceedance probability
,
is a location parameter,
is a scale parameter, and
is a shape parameter. The range of
is

if
. Note that the shape parameter
parameterization of the distribution herein follows that in tradition by the greater L-moment community and others use a sign reversal on
. (The evd package is one example.)
Usage
quagev(f, para, paracheck=TRUE)
Arguments
f |
Nonexceedance probability ( |
para |
|
paracheck |
A logical controlling whether the parameters are checked for validity. Overriding of this check might be extremely important and needed for use of the quantile function in the context of TL-moments with nonzero trimming. |
Value
Quantile value for nonexceedance probability .
