freq.curve.cau {lmomco}R Documentation

Frequency Curve of the Cauchy Distribution

Description

This function returns the quantiles of the Cauchy distribution given a vector of nonexceedance probabilities and the parameters of the distribution. Because in magnitude and frequency analysis the frequency curve is typically the objective, this is a convenient function to increase analysis efficiency.

Usage

freq.curve.cau(fs, para)

Arguments

fs Vector of nonexceedance probabilities.
para Parameters of the distribution from parcau or vec2par.

Value

A vector of quantiles for the distribution.
