[R] Fitting extreme value distributions

[David Scott]

On CRAN there are a number of packages concerned with fitting extreme 
value distributions. More than one refers to the book by Stuart Coles, 
which I have been using.

Could anyone with experience in this area offer opinions on the different 
packages?
