Statistical power of Higher Criticism test.

Description

Statistical power of Higher Criticism test.

Usage

power.hc(
  alpha,
  n,
  beta,
  method = "gaussian-gaussian",
  eps = 0,
  mu = 0,
  df = 1,
  delta = 0
)

Arguments

alpha	- type-I error rate.
n	- dimension parameter, i.e. the number of input statitics to construct Higher Criticism statistic.
beta	- search range parameter. Search range = (1, beta*n). Beta must be between 1/n and 1.
method	- different alternative hypothesis, including mixtures such as, "gaussian-gaussian", "gaussian-t", "t-t", "chisq-chisq", and "exp-chisq". By default, we use Gaussian mixture.
eps	- mixing parameter of the mixture.
mu	- mean of non standard Gaussian model.
df	- degree of freedom of t/Chisq distribution and exp distribution.
delta	- non-cenrality of t/Chisq distribution.

Details

We consider the following hypothesis test,

H_0: X_i\sim F, H_a: X_i\sim G

Specifically, F = F_0 and G = (1-\epsilon)F_0+\epsilon F_1, where \epsilon is the mixing parameter, F_0 and F_1 is speified by the "method" argument:

"gaussian-gaussian": F_0 is the standard normal CDF and F = F_1 is the CDF of normal distribution with \mu defined by mu and \sigma = 1.

"gaussian-t": F_0 is the standard normal CDF and F = F_1 is the CDF of t distribution with degree of freedom defined by df.

"t-t": F_0 is the CDF of t distribution with degree of freedom defined by df and F = F_1 is the CDF of non-central t distribution with degree of freedom defined by df and non-centrality defined by delta. "chisq-chisq": F_0 is the CDF of Chisquare distribution with degree of freedom defined by df and F = F_1 is the CDF of non-central Chisquare distribution with degree of freedom defined by df and non-centrality defined by delta.

"exp-chisq": F_0 is the CDF of exponential distribution with parameter defined by df and F = F_1 is the CDF of non-central Chisqaure distribution with degree of freedom defined by df and non-centrality defined by delta.

Value

Power of HC test.
