quanf: Converts alpha values to h-values

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

Description

DetLTS selects the subset of size h that minimizes the log-determinant criterion. The function quanf determines the size of h based on the rate of contamination the user expects is present in the data. This is an internal function not intended to be called by the user.

Usage

  quanf(n,p,alpha)

Arguments

n	Number of rows of the data matrix.
p	Number of columns of the data matrix.
alpha	Numeric parameter controlling the size of the active subsets, i.e., "h=quanf(alpha,n,p)". Allowed values are between 0.5 and 1 and the default is 0.5.

Value

An integer number of the size of the starting p-subsets.
