dGEV: The Generalized Extreme Value Distribution

Description

Density, distribution and quantile function for the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution.

Usage

dGEV(x, loc, scale, shape, log=FALSE)
pGEV(q, loc, scale, shape, lower.tail=TRUE)
qGEV(p, loc, scale, shape)

Value

density (dGEV), distribution function (pGEV) and quantile function (qGEV) from the Generalized Extreme Value distirbution with given

location, scale and shape.

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

loc

vector of locations.

scale

vector of scales.

shape

vector of shapes.

log

A logical value; if TRUE returns the log density.

lower.tail

A logical value; if TRUE probabilities are \(P\left(X \leq x \right)\), otherwise \(P\left(X > x \right)\).

Details

The GEV distribution has density $$f(x; \mu, \sigma, \xi) = \exp \left\{ -\left[ 1 + \xi \left( \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)\right]_+^{-1/\xi}\right\}$$
