lmomBurrXII: L-moments of the Extended Burr type XII distribution

Description

Compute the L-moments of the Extended Burr XII given the parameters.

Usage

lmomBurrXII(lambda, k, c)

Arguments

lambda
the scale parameter.
k, c
the two shape parameters.

Value

lmomBurrXII output is a vector of three elements containing the mean (L1), the coefficient L-CV (tau) and the coefficient L-skewness (tau3) of the distribution.

Details

Refer to Ganora and Laio (2014) and Hao and Singh (2009) for details about calculating L-moments from parameters.
