Distribution function (survival function in fact) of quadratic forms in normal variables using Davies's method.
1 2 |
q |
value point at which distribution function is to be evaluated |
lambda |
the weights λ_1, λ_2, ..., λ_n, i.e. distinct non-zero characteristic roots of A.Sigma |
h |
respective orders of multiplicity n_j of the lambdas |
delta |
non-centrality parameters δ_j^2 (should be positive) |
sigma |
coefficient σ of the standard Gaussian |
lim |
maximum number of integration terms. Realistic values for 'lim' range from 1,000 if the procedure is to be called repeatedly up to 50,000 if it is to be called only occasionally |
acc |
error bound. Suitable values for 'acc' range from 0.001 to 0.00005 which should be adequate for most statistical purposes. |
Computes P[Q>q] where Q = sum_{j=1}^r lambda_j X_j+ sigma X_0 where X_j are independent random variables having a non-central chi^2 distribution with n_j degrees of freedom and non-centrality parameter delta_j^2 for j=1,...,r and X_0 having a standard Gaussian distribution.
trace |
vector, indicating performance of procedure, with the following components: 1: absolute value sum, 2: total number of integration terms, 3: number of integrations, 4: integration interval in main integration, 5: truncation point in initial integration, 6: standard deviation of convergence factor term, 7: number of cycles to locate integration parameters |
ifault |
fault indicator: 0: no error, 1: requested accuracy could not be obtained, 2: round-off error possibly significant, 3: invalid parameters, 4: unable to locate integration parameters |
Qq |
P[Q>q] |
