Divide-and-conquer approach for Brown-Resnick models
This is a repository for the R package to estimate Brown-Resnick and inverted Brown-Resnick max-stable model parameters using a divide-and-conquer procedure. The R package's main files are:
- src/CL-funcs.cpp: this file defines the Rcpp functions that compute the pairwise censored composite likelihood and censored composite score for the Brown-Resnick and inverted Brown-Resnick models with unit Fréchet margins, and the pairwise censored composite likelihood and censored composite score functions for the transformed data with regression models for the location, scale and shape.
- R/BRdac_func.R: this file defines the R function for the divide-and-conquer estimation of model parameters.
The BRdac man file contains an example for running the regression model from the paper.
Please email ehector@ncsu.edu with any questions or bug-reports.
The BRdac R package can be installed in one of two ways:
- from the downloaded gzipped tarball as R CMD INSTALL BRdac_1.0-1.tar.gz
- from the downloaded and renamed BRdac folder as R CMD build BRdac and R CMD INSTALL BRdac_1.0-1.tar.gz
Please make sure to have all packages listed in the DESCRIPTION file already installed. If you encounter a library not found error for lgfortran, please try installing gfortran from here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/.
