Then the algorithm performed by the `gfigpd1` function produces some simulations
of the fiducial distributions of $\gamma$, $\sigma$ and of the
$(100\beta\%)$-quantiles of $X$ at the requested values of $\beta$. These are
$100\beta\%$-quantiles of $X$ at the requested values of $\beta$. These are
MCMC chains.

For example, assume that $X$ follows the $GP(\mu,\gamma,\sigma)$ distribution

but there are additional assumptions.

These additional assumptions have no meaningful interpretation but this is not
important in order to estimate the quantiles of $X$: the parameters $\gamma$
and $\sigma$ cannot be estimated (unless $X$ strictly follows the unrealistic
assumptions of the model) but $\mu$ can be estimated and the fiducial
distributions of the quantiles are available.
important in order to estimate the quantiles of $X$: it is possible that the

Let's assume for example that $X$ follows a log-normal distribution:
