MMboot_loccov: Fast and Robust Bootstrap for MM-estimates of Location and...

In FRB: Fast and Robust Bootstrap

Description

Calculates bootstrapped MM-estimates of multivariate location and scatter using the Fast and Robust Bootstrap method.

Usage

MMboot_loccov(Y, R = 999, ests = MMest_loccov(Y))

Arguments

Y	matrix or data frame.
R	number of bootstrap samples. Default is R=999.
ests	original MM-estimates as returned by MMest_loccov().

Details

This function is called by FRBpcaMM and FRBhotellingMM, it is typically not to be used on its own. It requires the MM-estimates of multivariate location and scatter/shape (the result of MMest_loccov applied on Y), supplied through the argument ests. If ests is not provided, MMest_loccov calls the implementation of the multivariate MM-estimates in package rrcov of Todorov and Filzmoser (2009) with default arguments.

For multivariate data the fast and robust bootstrap was developed by Salibian-Barrera, Van Aelst and Willems (2006).

The value centered gives a matrix with R columns and 2*(p+p*p) rows (p is the number of variables in Y), containing the recalculated estimates of the MM-location, MM-shape, S-covariance and S-location. Each column represents a different bootstrap sample. The first p rows are the MM-location estimates, the next p*p rows are the MM-shape estimates (vectorized). Then the next p*p rows are the S-covariance estimates (vectorized) and the final p rows are the S-location estimates. The estimates are centered by the original estimates, which are also returned through MMest in vectorized form.

Value

A list containing:

centered	recalculated MM- and S-estimates of location and scatter (centered by original estimates), see Details
MMest	original MM- and S-estimates of location and scatter, see Details
