Brown-Resnick process

Description

RPbrownresnick defines a Brown-Resnick process.

Usage

  RPbrownresnick(phi, tcf, xi, mu, s)

Arguments

phi

specifies the covariance model or variogram, see RMmodel and RMmodelsAdvanced.

tcf

the extremal correlation function; either phi or tcf must be given.

xi, mu, s

the extreme value index, the location parameter and the scale parameter, respectively, of the generalized extreme value distribution. See Details.

Details

The extreme value index xi is always a number, i.e. ξ is constant in space. In contrast, μ and s might be constant numerical value or given a RMmodel, in particular by a RMtrend model. The default values of mu and s are 1 and , respectively.

The functions RPbrorig, RPbrshifted and RPbrmixed perform the simulation of a Brown-Resnick process, which is defined by

Z(x) = max_{i=1, 2, ...} X_i * exp(W_i(x) - gamma^2),

where the X_i are the points of a Poisson point process on the positive real half-axis with intensity 1/x^2 dx, W_i ~ Y are iid centered Gaussian processes with stationary increments and variogram gamma given by model.

For simulation, internally, one of the methods RPbrorig, RPbrshifted and RPbrmixed is chosen automatically.

Note

Advanced options are maxpoints and max_gauss, see RFoptions.

Further advanced options related to the simulation methods RPbrorig, RPbrshifted and RPbrmixed can be found in the paragraph ‘Specific method options for Brown-Resnick Fields’ in RFoptions.
