Mean of rainfall for the random parameter Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse model

Description

The function meanRPBLRPM is the modelled mean of rainfall according to the equation of random parameter Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse model. The model supports Exponential, Gamma and Weibull distribution for cell intensity.

Usage

meanRPBLRPM(a,l,v,k,f,mx,h)  

Arguments

l

A positive number that specifies the rate of Poisson process. The time units are days (d).

f

Constant φ=γ/η.

k

Constant κ=β/η.

a

A positive number that specifies the shape parameter α of gamma distribution.

v

A positive number that specifies the scale parameter ν of gamma distribution.

mx

A positive number that specifies the mean of cell intensities.

h

Time scale (e.g. 1/60, 1/30, 1/12, 1, 6, 12, 24 hour etc.).

Value

mean

Mean rainfall depth.
