Generalised Hill estimator for right censored data
Computes the generalised Hill estimates adapted for right censored data.
cgenHill(data, censored, logk = FALSE, plot = FALSE, add = FALSE,
main = "Generalised Hill estimates of the EVI", ...)data |
Vector of n observations. |
censored |
A logical vector of length n indicating if an observation is censored. |
logk |
Logical indicating if the estimates are plotted as a function of \log(k) ( |
plot |
Logical indicating if the estimates of γ_1 should be plotted as a function of k, default is |
add |
Logical indicating if the estimates of γ_1 should be added to an existing plot, default is |
main |
Title for the plot, default is |

Additional arguments for the |
The generalised Hill estimator adapted for right censored data is equal to the ordinary generalised Hill estimator divided by the proportion of the k largest observations that is non-censored.
This estimator is only suitable for right censored data.
A list with following components:
k |
Vector of the values of the tail parameter k. |
gamma1 |
Vector of the corresponding generalised Hill estimates. |
