bckdengpd: Boundary Corrected Kernel Density Estimators for Bulk and GPD Tail Extreme Value Mixture Model

Description

Density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random number generation for the boundary corrected kernel density estimators for the bulk distribution upto the threshold and conditional GPD above threshold. The parameters are the bandwidth lambda, threshold u GPD scale sigmau and shape xi and tail fraction phiu.

Usage

dbckdengpd(x, kerncentres, lambda = NULL,
    u = as.vector(quantile(kerncentres, 0.9)),
    sigmau = sqrt(6 * var(kerncentres))/pi, xi = 0,
    phiu = TRUE, bcmethod = "simple", proper = TRUE,
    nn = "jf96", offset = 0, xmax = Inf, log = FALSE)

  pbckdengpd(q, kerncentres, lambda = NULL,
    u = as.vector(quantile(kerncentres, 0.9)),
    sigmau = sqrt(6 * var(kerncentres))/pi, xi = 0,
    phiu = TRUE, bcmethod = "simple", proper = TRUE,
    nn = "jf96", offset = 0, xmax = Inf, lower.tail = TRUE)

  qbckdengpd(p, kerncentres, lambda = NULL,
    u = as.vector(quantile(kerncentres, 0.9)),
    sigmau = sqrt(6 * var(kerncentres))/pi, xi = 0,
    phiu = TRUE, bcmethod = "simple", proper = TRUE,
    nn = "jf96", offset = 0, xmax = Inf, lower.tail = TRUE)

  rbckdengpd(n = 1, kerncentres, lambda = NULL,
    u = as.vector(quantile(kerncentres, 0.9)),
    sigmau = sqrt(6 * var(kerncentres))/pi, xi = 0,
    phiu = TRUE, bcmethod = "simple", proper = TRUE,
    nn = "jf96", offset = 0, xmax = Inf)

Arguments

x

quantile

kerncentres

kernel centres (typically sample data)

lambda

scalar value of fixed bandwidth, or NULL (default)

bcmethod

boundary correction approach

proper

logical, should density be renormalised to integrate to unity, simple boundary correction only

nn

non-negativity correction, so simple boundary correction only

offset

offset added to kernel centres, for logtrans

xmax

upper bound on support, for copula and beta kernels only

log

logical, if TRUE then log density

q

quantile

lower.tail

logical, if FALSE then upper tail probabilities

p

cumulative probability

n

sample size (non-negative integer)

u

threshold

sigmau

scale parameter (non-negative)

xi

shape parameter

phiu

probability of being above threshold [0,1]

Value

• dbckdengpd gives the density, pbckdengpd gives the cumulative distribution function, qbckdengpd gives the quantile function and rbckdengpd gives a random sample.

Details

Extreme value mixture model combining boundary corrected kernel density estimators for the bulk below the threshold and GPD for upper tail. See gpd for details of boundary corrected kernel density estimators. The user can pre-specify phiu permitting a parameterised value for the tail fraction $\phi_u$. Alternatively, when phiu=TRUE the tail fraction is estimated as the tail fraction from the normal bulk model. The cumulative distribution function with tail fraction $\phi_u$ defined by the upper tail fraction of the kernel density estimation Using normal kernel (phiu=TRUE), upto the threshold $x \le u$, given by: $$F(x) = H(x)$$ and above the threshold $x > u$: $$F(x) = (H(u)) + [1 - (H(u))] G(x)$$ where $H(x)$ and $G(X)$ are the boundary correction kernel density estimator and conditional GPD cumulative distribution functions (i.e. pbckden(x, kerncentres, lambda, bcmethod, proper, nn, offset, xmax, lower.tail) and pgpd(x, u, sigmau, xi)). The cumulative distribution function for pre-specified $\phi_u$, upto the threshold $x \le u$, is given by: $$F(x) = (1 - \phi_u) H(x)/H(u)$$ and above the threshold $x > u$: $$F(x) = \phi_u + [1 - \phi_u] G(x)$$ Notice that these definitions are equivalent when $\phi_u = 1 - (H(u))$.
