lmomco (version 1.3.3)

rlmomco: Random Deviates of a Distribution

Description

This function generates random deviates for the specified distribution in the parameter object argument. See documentation about the parameter object is seen in lmom2par or vec2par. The prepended r in the function name is to parallel the built-in distribution syntax of R but of course reflects the lmomco name in the function.

Usage

rlmomco(n,para)

Arguments

n

Number of samples to generate

para

The parameters from lmom2par or similar.

Value

• Vector of quantile values.

Examples

lmr      <- lmom.ub(rnorm(20)) # generate 20 standard normal deviates
para     <- parnor(lmr) # estimate parameters of the normal
simulate <- rlmomco(20,para) # simulate 20 samples using lmomco package

lmr  <- vec2lmom(c(1000,500,.3)) # first three lmoments are known
para <- lmom2par(lmr,type="gev") # est. parameters of GEV distribution
Q    <- rlmomco(45,para) # simulate 45 samples
PP   <- pp(Q)            # compute the plotting positions
plot(PP,sort(Q))         # plot the data up
