cievi: Confidence interval for extreme value index

Description

Confidence interval for extreme value index estimation by Tm method.

Usage

cievi(nextremes, evi=0, conf.level=0.90, m=10, nsim=100)

Arguments

nextremes

the number of upper extremes to be used.

evi

extreme value index. In particular, the shape parammeter of a generalized Pareto distribution.

conf.level

confidence level of the interval.

m

number of thresholds to do multiplicial test.

nsim

number of simulation.

Value

A numerical vector with two elements, containing the limits of the interval.
