similar to: evir package as.double problem

Dear List, This inquiry probably does not directly pertain to R. I am using library(evir) to learn EVT. Based on my reading of things, it is my understanding that if one wants to calculate quantiles of GPD, one could use either riskmeasures() or qgpd(). However, using data(danish) as an example, the quantile estimates produced by riskmeasures() are considerably different from those produced by

I'm next at installing packages. I seem to have successfully installed "evir", but I can't use it. I'm wondering if I need to specify the installation to match my working directory, or something else. thx, G

I am trying to use the evir package but I cannot find a way to change my excel csv files into R-objects, which are used in the package. In particular, I do not know how to change a csv list object into a numeric vector. Anybody done this before? Thanks in advance for your time. Vikentia [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm fitting a generalized Pareto distribution to POT exceedances of a data set. The practical stuff works ok, but I have a question regarding theory. Is there an equation relating parameters of a gpd tail to its (first) moments? According to theory for certain parameters either the first moment does not exist or the distribution has an upper bound, but I haven't found the

Hello to everyone I have written a small c++ function of type double function(double,double); and i want to export it in R using RCPP. After some trials i have realized that the only way i could do it working is to declare the function as void function (double x, double y, double result) and pass the result with RCPP Can you please tell me if this is the only way out? And if this is the case how

Dear List: I have a simple two-column data set in .csv format, with the first column being the date and second column being some value. I use read.csv() to import the data as follows: x <- read.csv("myfile.csv",header=T, dec=".", colClasses=c(Date="POSIXct")) The structure of x is: > str(x) `data.frame': 2959 obs. of 2 variables: $

Up to now, I have recognized problems with "gpd(..)", the function from the package "evir" I think that all these functions that estimate the parameters xi, beta for the GPD by given threshold mu use the function "optim(..)" ( gpd, fitgpd, ...) "Error" example: data1 <- rgpd(1000, xi= -1.5, mu=1000, beta=100) so the created poinnts take place in about

Guys, How do I enable the password changing via ctrl+alt+del on a windows workstation? This function worked on my previous PDC but I can't get it work on my actual PDC.

Hi Guys, I have a Debian Lenny that acts as the PDC server of my network. This server has some shares that are accessed for different groups of users. So, when an user creates or changes a folder/file inside that shares, the folder/file has its group changed to the primary group of the user that have made the changes on it. How can I determine to which group this folder/file will belong at the

Hi Tony, Belkin is a repackager of cheap equipment and they buy their hardware from different sources. As a result, different Belkin UPS's use different protocols. Most are supported, in one way or another, by the Network UPS Tools, http://www.networkupstools.org/. If you need help customizing the software, the NUT developer's list might be a good place to ask:

Hello, I have the following problem when trying to use rm: In a top level script file I have a loop iterating over some index. The loop is not contained within a function, so the scope of variables declared in the loop is global. Within this loop I generate several variables which should be removed at the end of each iteration. To do this, I wrote a function to clean up the workspace. An example
