Fits a stationary GEV distribution to annual block maxima at each site
using extRemes::fevd. Returns pointwise MLEs and their asymptotic
covariance matrices. For a nonstationary alternative that accounts for
sea level trends at NOAA sites, see fit_gev_detrended.
Value
A list with components:
- theta_hat
Matrix of dimension (n_sites x 3). Columns are mu, log_sigma (or sigma), xi. Rows ordered to match dat$sites.
- vcov_list
List of n_sites 3x3 asymptotic covariance matrices for (mu, log_sigma, xi) at each site.
- fits
List of raw fevd fit objects for diagnostics.
- converged
Logical vector indicating convergence at each site.
