ismev includes functions to support the computations carried out in
`An Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values' by
Stuart Coles. The functions may be divided into the following
groups; maxima/minima, order statistics, peaks over thresholds
and point processes. ismev is an R port of Stuart Coles'
S-Plus extreme value statistical routines. Primary functions include: 'gev.fit', 'gev.diag', 'gpd.fit', 'gpd.diag',
'pp.fit' and 'pp.diag'.
Original R port was carried out by alec Stephenson, and the package is
currently being maintained by Eric Gilleland.
