fun.data.fit.mm

Fit data using moment matching estimation for RS and FMKL GLD


Description

This function fits generalised lambda distributions to data using moment matching method

Usage

fun.data.fit.mm(data, rs.leap = 3, fmkl.leap = 3, rs.init = c(-1.5, 1.5), 
fmkl.init = c(-0.25, 1.5), FUN = "runif.sobol", no = 10000)

Arguments

data

Dataset to be fitted.

rs.leap

Scrambling (0,1,2,3) for the sobol sequence for the RPRS distribution fit. See scrambling/leap argument for runif.sobol, runif.halton or QUnif.

fmkl.leap

Scrambling (0,1,2,3) for the sobol sequence for the RMFMKL distribution fit. See scrambling/leap argument for runif.sobol, runif.halton or QUnif.

rs.init

Inititial values (lambda3 and lambda4) for the RS generalised lambda distribution.

fmkl.init

Inititial values (lambda3 and lambda4) for the FMKL generalised lambda distribution.

FUN

A character string of either "runif.sobol" (default), "runif.halton" or "QUnif".

no

Number of initial random values to find the best initial values for optimisation.

Details

This function consolidates fun.RPRS.mm and fun.RMFMKL.mm and gives all the fits in one output.

Value

A matrix showing the parameters of RS and FMKL generalised lambda distributions.

Note

RPRS can sometimes fail if it is not possible to calculate the percentiles of the data set. This usually happens when the number of data point is small.
