Re: [R] error message in gev
Hello, You should say which package is gev() coming from. I believe it's from evir, and what follows assumes that. The problem is that 'dat' is a data.frame, a special type of list. It is a list of vectors and gev is expecting just one vector. You could try instead, to fit generalized extreme value distributions to each of the vectors in the data.frame, out.list - lapply(dat, gev, block = 20) to get a list of 10 objects of class gev, like the help page says.

I believe it's from evir, and what follows assumes that. The problem is that 'dat' is a data.frame, a special type of list. It is a list of vectors and gev is expecting just one vector. You could try instead, to fit generalized extreme value distributions to each of the vectors in the data.frame, out.list - lapply(dat, gev, block = 20) to get a list of 10 objects of class gev, like the help page says.
