Generalized Pareto summary statistics

Calculates summary statistics involved in the Generalized Pareto log-likelihood.

gpd_sum_stats(gpd_data)

Arguments

gpd_data

A numeric vector containing positive values.

Value

A list with components

gpd_data

A numeric vector. The input vector with any missings removed.

m

A numeric scalar. The sample size, i.e., the number of non-missing values.

xm

A numeric scalar. The sample maximum

sum_gp

A numeric scalar. The sum of the non-missing sample values.

rgpd for simulation from a generalized Pareto distribution.

Examples

# \donttest{
# Sample data from a GP(sigma, xi) distribution
gpd_data <- rgpd(m = 100, xi = 0, sigma = 1)
# Calculate summary statistics for use in the log-likelihood
ss <- gpd_sum_stats(gpd_data)
# }
