Generic Function for the Computation of the Optimal Clipping Bound

Description

Generic function for the computation of the optimal clipping bound. This function is rarely called directly. It is called by getInfClip to compute optimally robust ICs.

Usage

getInfGamma(L2deriv, risk, neighbor, biastype, ...)

## S4 method for signature 
## 'UnivariateDistribution,asGRisk,ContNeighborhood,BiasType'
getInfGamma(L2deriv, 
     risk, neighbor, biastype, cent, clip)

## S4 method for signature 
## 'UnivariateDistribution,asGRisk,TotalVarNeighborhood,BiasType'
getInfGamma(L2deriv, 
     risk, neighbor, biastype, cent, clip)

## S4 method for signature 'RealRandVariable,asMSE,ContNeighborhood,BiasType'
getInfGamma(L2deriv, 
     risk, neighbor, biastype, Distr, stand, cent, clip, power = 1L, ...)

## S4 method for signature 
## 'RealRandVariable,asMSE,TotalVarNeighborhood,BiasType'
getInfGamma(L2deriv,
     risk, neighbor, biastype, Distr, stand, cent, clip, power = 1L, ...)

## S4 method for signature 
## 'UnivariateDistribution,asUnOvShoot,ContNeighborhood,BiasType'
getInfGamma(L2deriv,
     risk, neighbor, biastype, cent, clip)

## S4 method for signature 
## 'UnivariateDistribution,asMSE,ContNeighborhood,onesidedBias'
getInfGamma(L2deriv, 
     risk, neighbor, biastype, cent, clip)

## S4 method for signature 
## 'UnivariateDistribution,asMSE,ContNeighborhood,asymmetricBias'
getInfGamma(L2deriv, 
    risk, neighbor, biastype, cent, clip)

Arguments

L2deriv

L2-derivative of some L2-differentiable family of probability measures.

risk

object of class "RiskType".

neighbor

object of class "Neighborhood".

biastype

object of class "BiasType".

...

additional parameters, in particular for expectation E.

cent

optimal centering constant.

clip

optimal clipping bound.

stand

standardizing matrix.

Distr

object of class "Distribution".

power

exponent for the integrand; by default 1, but may also be 2, for optimization in getLagrangeMultByOptim.

Details

The function is used in case of asymptotic G-risks; confer Ruckdeschel and Rieder (2004).

Value

The optimal clipping height is computed. More specifically, the optimal clipping height b is determined in a zero search of a certain function \gamma, where the respective getInf-method will return the value of \gamma(b). The actual function \gamma varies according to whether the parameter is one dimensional or higher dimensional, according to the risk, according to the neighborhood, and according to the bias type, which leads to the different methods.

Methods

L2deriv = "UnivariateDistribution", risk = "asGRisk", neighbor = "ContNeighborhood", biastype = "BiasType"

used by getInfClip for symmetric bias.

L2deriv = "UnivariateDistribution", risk = "asGRisk", neighbor = "TotalVarNeighborhood", biastype = "BiasType"

used by getInfClip for symmetric bias.

L2deriv = "RealRandVariable", risk = "asMSE", neighbor = "ContNeighborhood", biastype = "BiasType"

used by getInfClip for symmetric bias.

L2deriv = "RealRandVariable", risk = "asMSE", neighbor = "TotalVarNeighborhood", biastype = "BiasType"

used by getInfClip for symmetric bias.

L2deriv = "UnivariateDistribution", risk = "asUnOvShoot", neighbor = "ContNeighborhood", biastype = "BiasType"

used by getInfClip for symmetric bias.

L2deriv = "UnivariateDistribution", risk = "asMSE", neighbor = "ContNeighborhood", biastype = "onesidedBias"

used by getInfClip for onesided bias.

L2deriv = "UnivariateDistribution", risk = "asMSE", neighbor = "ContNeighborhood", biastype = "asymmetricBias"

used by getInfClip for asymmetric bias.
