class FrechetFactory(*args)

Frechet factory.

DistributionFactory, Frechet

Notes

The parameters are estimated by likelihood maximization. The starting point is obtained from the estimation of a Gumbel distribution based on the logarithm of the shifted observations:

\begin{eqnarray*} \displaystyle\Hat{\alpha} & = & \frac{\pi}{\Hat{\sigma}_y\sqrt{6}} \\ \displaystyle\Hat{\beta} & = & \exp\left\{\bar{y}_n-\frac{\gamma\sqrt{6}}{\pi}\Hat{\sigma}_y\right\} \\ \displaystyle\Hat{\gamma} & = & x_{(1)} - \frac{|x_{(1)}|}{n+2} \end{eqnarray*}

with \gamma \simeq 0.57721 as Euler’s constant (not to be confused with the location parameter of the Frechet distribution!), x_{(1)}=\min_{i=1,\dots,n}x_i and y_i=x_i-\Hat{\gamma}.

Notes

According to the way the native parameters of the distribution are estimated, the parameters distribution differs:

  • Moments method: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data;

  • Maximum likelihood method with a regular model: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix is the inverse Fisher information matrix;

  • Other methods: the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting (see KernelSmoothing).

If another set of parameters is specified, the native parameters distribution is first estimated and the new distribution is determined from it:

  • if the native parameters distribution is normal and the transformation regular at the estimated parameters values: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix determined from the inverse Fisher information matrix of the native parameters and the transformation;

  • in the other cases, the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting.
