lmomnor: L-moments of the Normal Distribution

Description

This function estimates the L-moments of the Normal distribution given the parameters ($\mu$ and $\sigma$) from parnor. The L-moments in terms of the parameters are $\lambda_1 = \mu$, $\lambda_2 = \sqrt{\pi} \sigma$, $\tau_3 = 0$, $\tau_4 = 0.122602$, and $\tau_5 = 0$.

Usage

lmomnor(para)

Arguments

para
The parameters of the distribution.

Value

An R list is returned.
