Description

This function generates a univariate upper partial moment for any degree or target.

Usage

UPM(degree, target, variable, excess_ret = FALSE)

Value

UPM of variable

Arguments

degree

integer; (degree = 0) is frequency, (degree = 1) is area.

target

numeric; Set to target = mean(variable) for classical equivalences, but does not have to be. (Vectorized)#' @param variable a numeric vector. data.frame or list type objects are not permissible.

variable

a numeric vector. data.frame or list type objects are not permissible.

excess_ret
