__init__(*args)
drawDiagnosticPlot()

Draw the 4 usual diagnostic plots.

Returns:
gridGridLayout
Returns a grid of 4 graphs:

  • the QQ-plot,

  • the PP-plot,

  • the return level graph (with confidence lines),

  • the density graph.

Notes

The 4 graphs are the probability-probability plot, the quantile-quantile plot, the return level plot, the data histogram with the fitted model density.

If (z_{(1)} \leq z_{(2)} \leq \dots \leq z_{(n)}) denotes the ordered block maximum data and \hat{G} the cumulative distribution function of the GEV distribution fitted on the data, the graphs are defined as follows.

The probability-probability plot consists of the points:

\left\{ \left( i/(n+1), \hat{G}(z_{(i)}) \right), i=1, \dots , m\right\}

The quantile-quantile plot consists of the points:

\left\{ \left( z_{(i)}, \hat{G}^{-1}(i/(n+1)) \right), i=1, \dots , n\right\}

The return level plot consists of the points:

\left\{ \left( m, \hat{z}_m\right), m> 0\right\}

and the points:

\left\{ \left( m, z_{m}^{emp}\right), m> 0\right\}

where z_{m}^{emp} is the empirical m-block return level and \hat{z}_{m} the m-block return level calculated with the fitted GEV.

drawPDF()

Draw the estimated density and the data histogram.

Returns:
graphGraph

The estimated density and the data histogram.

drawReturnLevel()

Draw the return level with confidence interval.

Returns:
graphGraph

The return level graph.

Notes

The return level plot consists of the points:

\left\{ \left( m, \hat{z}_m\right), m >0 \right\}

and the points:

\left\{ \left( m, z_{m}^{emp}\right), m> 0\right\}

where z_{m}^{emp} is the empirical m-block return level and \hat{z}_{m} the m-block return level calculated with the fitted GEV.

getClassName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:
class_namestr

The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).

getConfidenceLevel()

Confidence level accessor.

Returns:
levelfloat

Confidence level for the confidence lines.

getName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:
namestr

The name of the object.

hasName()

Test if the object is named.

Returns:
hasNamebool

True if the name is not empty.

setConfidenceLevel(confidenceLevel)

Confidence level accessor.

Parameters:
levelfloat

Confidence level for the confidence lines.

setName(name)

Accessor to the object’s name.

Parameters:
namestr

The name of the object.
