Hill estimator
Compute the weighted Hill estimator.
hill(X, weights = rep(1, length(X)), grid = X)
X |
a vector of data. |
weights |
a vector of weights assiociated to x. |
grid |
a vector of values for which the Hill estimator is computed. |
Compute the weighted Hill estimator for vectors grid, data and weights (see references below).
xsort |
the sorted data. |
wsort |
the weights assiociated to xsort. |
grid |
the grid for which the Hill estimator is computed. |
hill |
the Hill estimators. |
