tlmrnor: Compute Select TL-moment ratios of the Normal Distribution

Description

This function computes select TL-moment ratios of the Normal distribution for defaults of $\mu = 0$ and $\sigma = 1$. This function can be useful for plotting the trajectory of the distribution on TL-moment ratio diagrams of $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_2$, $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_3$, $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_4$, $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_5$, and $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_6$. In reality, $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_2$ is a dependent on the values for $\mu$ and $\sigma$.

The function uses numerical integration of the quantile function of the distribution through the theoTLmoms function.

Usage

tlmrnor(trim=NULL, leftrim=NULL, rightrim=NULL, mu=0, sigma=1)

Arguments

trim
Level of symmetrical trimming to use in the computations. Although NULL in the argument list, the default is 0---the usual L-moment ratios are returned.
leftrim
Level of trimming of the left-tail of the sample.
rightrim
Level of trimming of the right-tail of the sample.
mu
Location parameter (mean) of the distribution.
sigma
Scale parameter (standard deviation) of the distribution.

Value

  • An R list is returned.
  • tau2A vector of the $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_2$ values.
  • tau3A vector of the $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_3$ values.
  • tau4A vector of the $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_4$ values.
  • tau5A vector of the $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_5$ values.
  • tau6A vector of the $\tau^{(t_1,t_2)}_6$ values.
