lmomcau: Trimmed L-moments of the Cauchy Distribution

Description

This function estimates the trimmed L-moments of the Cauchy distribution given the parameters ($\xi$ and $\alpha$) from parcau. The trimmed L-moments in terms of the parameters are $\lambda^{(1)}_1 = \xi$, $\lambda^{(1)}_2 = 0.698\alpha$, $\tau^{(1)}_3 = 0$, and $\tau^{(1)}_4 = 0.343$. These TL-moments (trim=1) are symmetrical for the first L-moments defined because $\mathrm{E}[X_{1:n}]$ and $\mathrm{E}[X_{n:n}]$ undefined expectations for the Cauchy.

Usage

lmomcau(para)

Arguments

para
The parameters of the distribution.

Value

An R list is returned.
