lmom.diff {lmomco} | R Documentation |
This function computes the difference between the L-moments derived from a parameterized distribution and the L-moments as computed from the data. This function is useful to characterize the bias that develops between the theoretical L-moments of a distribution and the L-moments of the data. This function also is an important test on the algorithms that fit distributions to the L-moments. The difference is computed as the L-moment from the distribution minus the L-moment of the data.
lmom.diff(lmomparm, lmomdata,verbose=TRUE)
lmomparm |
L-moments of a distribution such as from par2lmom |
lmomdata |
L-moments of the data such as from lmom.ub |
verbose |
Logical switch on verbosity of output. Default is TRUE . |
