lmomRFA {lmomRFA} | R Documentation |
R functions for regional frequency analysis using L-moments.
This package implements methods described in the book “Regional frequency analysis: an approach based on L-moments” by J. R. M. Hosking and J. R. Wallis. It is a supplement to the lmom package, which implements L-moment methods for more general statistical applications.
The following functions are contained in this package.
cluagg
performs agglomerative hierarchical clustering.
cluinf
provides information about cluster membership in a
hierarchical clustering.
clukm
performs cluster analysis via the K-means algorithm.
reglmr
computes a regional weighted average of L-moments.
regsamlmu
computes the sample L-moments of multiple data sets.
regtst
computes discordancy, heterogeneity and goodness-of-fit measures
for regional frequency analysis. These statistics are as described
in Hosking and Wallis (1997, chaps. 3-5).
Functions cluagg
, cluinf
, clukm
, reglmr
,
and regtst
are analogous to Fortran routines from the
LMOMENTS package, version 3.04, available from StatLib at
http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/general/lmoments.
