lmomkap: L-moments of the Kappa Distribution

Description

This function estimates the L-moments of the Kappa distribution given the parameters ($\xi$, $\alpha$, $\kappa$, and $h$) from parkap. The L-moments in terms of the parameters are complicated and are solved numerically.

Usage

lmomkap(para)

Arguments

para
The parameters of the distribution.

Value

An R list is returned.
