Fits the three-parameter Generalised Logistic distribution to an xts series by the method of L-moments. Parameters are obtained in closed form via pelglo, which matches the sample L-moment ratios to the theoretical L-moment ratios of the Generalised Logistic distribution. Zero values below zero_threshold may be excluded via ignore_zeros. Goodness-of-fit is assessed via GOF_tests, and theoretical L-moments are computed from the fitted parameters for comparison with the sample.

Usage

fitlm_genlogi(x, ignore_zeros = FALSE, zero_threshold = 0.01)

Arguments

x

An xts object containing the time series data.

ignore_zeros

Logical. If TRUE, values below zero_threshold are excluded. Default FALSE.

zero_threshold

Numeric. Threshold below which values are treated as zero. Default 0.01.

Value

A list with elements Distribution, Param (named list of fitted parameters), TheorLMom (theoretical L-moments), DataLMom (sample L-moments), and GoF (goodness-of-fit metrics).

Examples

x <- xts::xts(qgenlogi(runif(365), location = 0, scale = 1, shape = -0.5),
              order.by = as.Date("2020-01-01") + 0:364)
fit <- fitlm_genlogi(x)
