# R/GET-package.r In GET: Global Envelopes

#' Global Envelopes
#'
#' The \pkg{GET} package provides implementation of global envelopes
#' for a set of general d-dimensional vectors T in various applications.
#' A 100(1-alpha)% global envelope is a band bounded by two vectors such that
#' the probability that T falls outside this envelope in any of the d points is
#' equal to alpha. Global means that the probability is controlled simultaneously
#' for all the d elements of the vectors.
#' The global envelopes can be used for central regions of functional or
#' multivariate data (e.g. outlier detection, functional boxplot),
#' for graphical Monte Carlo and permutation tests where the test statistic
#' is a multivariate vector or function (e.g. goodness-of-fit testing for point
#' patterns and random sets, functional ANOVA, functional GLM, n-sample test of
#' correspondence of distribution functions), and for global confidence and
#' prediction bands (e.g. confidence band in polynomial regression,
#' Bayesian posterior prediction).
#'
#'
#' The \pkg{GET} package provides central regions (i.e. global envelopes) and
#' global envelope tests with intrinsic graphical interpretation.
#' The central regions can be constructed from (functional) data.
#' The tests are Monte Carlo or permutation tests, which demand simulations
#' from the tested null model. The methods are applicable for any multivariate
#' vector data and functional data (after discretization).
#'
#' To get an overview of the package, start R and type \code{library("GET")} and \code{vignette("GET")}.
#'
#' To get examples of point pattern analysis, start R and type \code{library("GET")} and \code{vignette("pointpatterns")}.
#'
#' @section Key functions in \pkg{GET}:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \emph{Central regions} or \emph{global envelopes} or \emph{confidence bands}:
#' E.g. 50\% central region of growth curves of girls \code{\link[fda]{growth}}.
#' \itemize{
#'            \item First create a curve_set of the growth curves, e.g.
#'
#'                  \code{
#'                    cset <- create_curve_set(list(r = as.numeric(row.names(growth$hgtf)), #' obs = growth$hgtf))
#'                  }
#'            \item Then calculate 50\% central region (see \code{\link{central_region}} for further arguments)
#'
#'                  \code{
#'                    cr <- central_region(cset, coverage = 0.5)
#'                  }
#'            \item Plot the result (see \code{\link{plot.global_envelope}} for plotting options)
#'
#'                  \code{
#'                    plot(cr)
#'                  }
#' }
#' It is also possible to do combined central regions for several sets of curves provided in a list
#' for the function, see examples in \code{\link{central_region}}.
#'
#' \item \emph{Global envelope tests}: \code{\link{global_envelope_test}} is the main function.
#' E.g. A test of complete spatial randomness (CSR) for a point pattern \code{X}:
#'
#' \code{X <- spruces # an example pattern from spatstat}
#'
#' \itemize{
#'            \item Use the function \code{envelope} of \pkg{spatstat} to create nsim simulations
#'                  under CSR and to calculate the functions you want (below K-functions by Kest).
#'                  Important: use the option 'savefuns=TRUE' and
#'                  specify the number of simulations \code{nsim}.
#'
#'                  \code{
#'                    env <- envelope(X, nsim=999, savefuns = TRUE, fun = Kest, simulate = expression(runifpoint(ex = X)))
#'                  }
#'            \item Perform the test (see \code{\link{global_envelope_test}} for further arguments)
#'
#'                  \code{
#'                    res <- global_envelope_test(env)
#'                  }
#'            \item Plot the result (see \code{\link{plot.global_envelope}} for plotting options)
#'
#'                  \code{
#'                    plot(res)
#'                  }
#' }
#' It is also possible to do combined global envelope tests for several sets of curves provided in a list
#' for the function, see examples in \code{\link{global_envelope_test}}.
#' }
#'
#' \itemize{
#'  are based on different measures for ordering the functions (or vectors) from
#'  the most extreme to the least extreme ones. The core functionality of calculating the measures
#'  is in the function \code{\link{forder}}, which can be used to obtain different measures for sets of
#'  curves. Usually there is no need to call \code{\link{forder}} directly.
#' \item \emph{Adjusted} global envelope tests for composite null hypotheses
#' \itemize{
#' }
#' \item \emph{One-way functional ANOVA}:
#'  \itemize{
#'   \item \emph{Graphical} functional ANOVA tests: \code{\link{graph.fanova}}
#'   \item Global rank envelope based on F-values: \code{\link{frank.fanova}}
#'  }
#' \item \emph{Functional general linear model (GLM)}:
#'  \itemize{
#'   \item \emph{Graphical} functional GLM: \code{\link{graph.flm}}
#'   \item Global rank envelope based on F-values: \code{\link{frank.flm}}
#'   \item For large data (not fitting comfortably in memory): \code{\link{partial_forder}}
#'  }
#' \item Functions for performing global envelopes for specific purposes:
#'  \itemize{
#'   \item Graphical n sample test of correspondence of distribution functions: \code{\link{GET.necdf}}
#'   \item Variogram and residual variogram with global envelopes: \code{\link{GET.variogram}}
#'   \item Testing global and local dependence of point patterns on covariates: \code{\link{GET.spatialF}}
#'  }
#'
#' \item Deviation tests (for simple hypothesis): \code{\link{deviation_test}} (no graphical
#' interpretation)
#' \item Most functions accept the curves provided in a \code{curve_set} object.
#' Use \code{\link{create_curve_set}} to create a \code{curve_set} object from the
#' functions. Other formats to provide the curves to the above functions are also accepted,
#' see the information on the help pages.
#' }
#' See the help files of the functions for examples.
#'
#' @section Workflow for (single hypothesis) tests based on single functions:
#'
#' To perform a test you always first need to obtain the test function \eqn{T(r)}{T(r)}
#' for your data (\eqn{T_1(r)}{T_1(r)}) and for each simulation
#' (\eqn{T_2(r), \dots, T_{s+1}(r)}{T_2(r), ..., T_{s+1}(r)}) in one way or another.
#' Given the set of the functions \eqn{T_i(r), i=1, \dots, s+1}{T_i(r), i=1,...,s+1},
#' you can perform a test by \code{\link{global_envelope_test}}.
#'
#' 1) The workflow when using your own programs for simulations:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item (Fit the model and) Create \eqn{s}{s} simulations from the (fitted) null model.
#' \item Calculate the functions \eqn{T_1(r), T_2(r), \dots, T_{s+1}(r)}{T_1(r), T_2(r), ..., T_{s+1}(r)}.
#' \item Use \code{\link{create_curve_set}} to create a \code{curve_set} object
#'       from the functions \eqn{T_i(r), i=1, \dots, s+1}{T_i(r), i=1,...,s+1}.
#' \item Perform the test
#'
#'       \code{res <- global_envelope_test(curve_set)}
#'
#' where \code{curve_set} is the 'curve_set'-object you created, and plot the result
#'
#'       \code{plot(res)}
#' }
#'
#' 2) The workflow utilizing \pkg{spatstat}: start R, type \code{library("GET")} and \code{vignette("pointpatterns")},
#' which explains the workflow and gives many examples of point pattern analysis
#'
#' @section Functions for modifying sets of functions:
#' It is possible to modify the curve set \eqn{T_1(r), T_2(r), \dots, T_{s+1}(r)}{T_1(r), T_2(r), ..., T_{s+1}(r)} for the test.
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item You can choose the interval of distances \eqn{[r_{\min}, r_{\max}]}{[r_min, r_max]} by \code{\link{crop_curves}}.
#' \item For better visualisation, you can take \eqn{T(r)-T_0(r)}{T(r)-T_0(r)} by \code{\link{residual}}.
#' Here \eqn{T_0(r)}{T_0(r)} is the expectation of \eqn{T(r)}{T(r)} under the null hypothesis.
#' }
#'
#' @section Example data (see references on the help pages of each data set):
#' \itemize{
#'  \item \code{\link{abide_9002_23}}: see help page
#'  \item \code{\link{fallen_trees}}: a point pattern of fallen trees
#'  \item \code{\link{GDPtax}}: GDP per capita with country groups and other covariates
#'  \item \code{\link{imageset3}}: a simulated set of images
#'  \item \code{\link{rimov}}: water termperature curves in 365 days of the 36 years
#' }
#' The data sets are used to show examples of the functions of the library.
#'
#' @section Number of functions:
#'
#' If the number of functions is low, the choice of the measure (or type or depth) playes a role,
#' as explained in \code{vignette("GET")} (Section 2.4).
#'
#' Note that the recommended minimum number of simulations for the rank
#' envelope test (Myllymäki et al., 2017) based on a single function in spatial statistics is nsim=2499.
#' When the number of argument values is large, also larger number simulations is needed in order to
#' have a narrow p-interval.
#' The "erl", "cont", "area", "qdir" and "st" global envelope tests and deviation tests can be
#' used with a lower number of simulations, although the Monte Carlo error is obviously larger
#' with a lower number of simulations.
#' For increasing the number of simulations, all the global rank envelopes approach the same curves.
#'
#' Mrkvička et al. (2017) discussed the number of simulations for tests based on many functions.
#'
#' @section Documentation:
#' Myllymäki and Mrkvička (2020) provides description of the package.
#' The material can also be found in the corresponding vignette, which is available by
#' starting R and typing \code{library("GET")} and \code{vignette("GET")}.
#'
#' In the special case of spatial processes (spatial point processes, random sets),
#' the functions are typically estimators of summary functions. The package supports
#' the use of the R package \pkg{spatstat} for generating simulations and calculating
#' estimators of the chosen summary function, but alternatively these can be done by
#' any other way, thus allowing for any user-specified models/functions.
#' To see examples of global envelopes for analysing point pattern data,
#' start R, type \code{library("GET")} and \code{vignette("pointpatterns")}.
