mle.gev.CD

Computes maximum penalized likelihood estimates for GEV parameters
using the Coles and Dixon (1999) prior penalty on the shape parameter.

internal

Provides generalized L-moments estimation methods for the
generalized extreme value ('GEV') distribution. Implements both stationary
'GEV' and non-stationary 'GEV11' models where location and scale parameters
vary with time. Includes various penalty functions ('Martins'-'Stedinger',
Park, Cannon, 'Coles'-Dixon) for shape parameter regularization.
Also provides model averaging estimation ('ma.gev') that combines MLE and
L-moment methods with multiple weighting schemes for robust high quantile
estimation. The 'GLME' methodology is described in Shin et al. (2025a)
<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.20385>. The non-stationary L-moment method
is based on Shin et al. (2025b) <doi:10.1007/s42952-025-00325-3>.
The model averaging method is described in Shin et al. (2026)
<doi:10.1007/s00477-025-03167-x>.
