Description
Generalized L-Moments Estimation for Extreme Value Distributions.
Description
Provides generalized L-moments estimation methods for the generalized extreme value ('GEV') distribution. Implements both stationary 'GEV' and non-stationary 'GEV11' models where location and scale parameters vary with time. Includes various penalty functions ('Martins'-'Stedinger', Park, Cannon, 'Coles'-Dixon) for shape parameter regularization. Also provides model averaging estimation ('ma.gev') that combines MLE and L-moment methods with multiple weighting schemes for robust high quantile estimation. The 'GLME' methodology is described in Shin et al. (2025a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.20385>. The non-stationary L-moment method is based on Shin et al. (2025b) <doi:10.1007/s42952-025-00325-3>. The model averaging method is described in Shin et al. (2026) <doi:10.1007/s00477-025-03167-x>.
