OGKCStep: Robust and Deterministic Linear Regression via OGKCStep

In DetR: Suite of Deterministic and Robust Algorithms for Linear Regression

Description

Function to find the OGKCStep ('best') H-subset.

Usage

  OGKCStep(x0, scale_est, alpha=0.5)

Arguments

x0	Matrix of continuous variables.
alpha	numeric parameter controlling the size of the subsets over which the determinant is minimized, i.e., alpha*n observations are used for computing the determinant. Allowed values are between 0.5 and 1 and the default is 0.5.
scale_est	A character string specifying the variance functional. Possible values are Qn or scaleTau2.

Value

best	the best subset found and used for computing the raw estimates, with length(best) == quan = h.alpha.n(alpha,n,p).
