Method Detail

alphaPWM

public static <A> double[] alphaPWM(A data,
                    NumberArrayAdapter<?,A> adapter,
                    int nmom)

Compute the alpha_r factors using the method of probability-weighted moments.

Parameters:

data - Presorted data array.

adapter - Array adapter.

nmom - Number of moments to compute

Returns:

Alpha moments (0-indexed)

betaPWM

public static <A> double[] betaPWM(A data,
                   NumberArrayAdapter<?,A> adapter,
                   int nmom)

Compute the beta_r factors using the method of probability-weighted moments.

Parameters:

data - Presorted data array.

adapter - Array adapter.

nmom - Number of moments to compute

Returns:

Beta moments (0-indexed)

alphaBetaPWM

public static <A> double[] alphaBetaPWM(A data,
                        NumberArrayAdapter<?,A> adapter,
                        int nmom)

Compute the alpha_r and beta_r factors in parallel using the method of probability-weighted moments. Usually cheaper than computing them separately.

Parameters:

data - Presorted data array.

adapter - Array adapter.

nmom - Number of moments to compute

Returns:

Alpha and Beta moments (0-indexed, interleaved)

samLMR

public static <A> double[] samLMR(A sorted,
                  NumberArrayAdapter<?,A> adapter,
                  int nmom)

Compute the sample L-Moments using probability weighted moments.

Parameters:

sorted - Presorted data array.

adapter - Array adapter.

nmom - Number of moments to compute

Returns:

Array containing Lambda1, Lambda2, Tau3 ... TauN
