WeibullQQ_der: Derivative plot of the Weibull QQ-plot

Description

Computes the derivative plot of the Weibull QQ-plot. These values can be plotted as a function of the data or as a function of the tail parameter \(k\).

Usage

WeibullQQ_der(data, k = FALSE, plot = TRUE, 
              main = "Derivative plot of Weibull QQ-plot", ...)

Value

A list with following components:

xval

Vector of the x-values of the plot (\(k\) or \(\log X_{n-k,n}\)).

yval

Vector of the derivative values.

Arguments

data

Vector of \(n\) observations.

plot

Logical indicating if the derivative values should be plotted, default is TRUE.

k

Logical indicating if the derivative values are plotted as a function of the tail parameter \(k\) (k=TRUE) or as a function of the logarithm of the data (k=FALSE). Default is FALSE.

main

Title for the plot, default is "Derivative plot of Weibull QQ-plot".

...

Additional arguments for the plot function, see plot for more details.

Details

The derivative plot of a Weibull QQ-plot is $$(k, H_{k,n}/W_{k,n})$$ or $$(\log X_{n-k,n}, H_{k,n}/W_{k,n})$$ with \(H_{k,n}\) the Hill estimates and $$W_{k,n}=1/k\sum_{j=1}^k \log(\log((n+1)/j)) - \log(\log((n+1)/(k+1))).$$

See Section 4.1 of Albrecher et al. (2017) for more details.
