lmomgum {lmomco} | R Documentation |
This function estimates the L-moments of the Gumbel distribution given
the parameters (xi and α) from pargum
.
The L-moments in terms of the parameters are
λ_1 = xi + (0.5722...) α mbox{,}
λ_2 = α log(2) mbox{,}
tau_3 = 0.169925 mbox{,}
tau_4 = 0.150375 mbox{, and}
tau_5 = 0.055868 mbox{.}
