globalFtest: global F test for Wasserstein regression

In WRI: Wasserstein Regression and Inference

global F test for Wasserstein regression

Description

global F test for Wasserstein regression

Usage

globalFtest(
  wass_regress_res,
  alpha = 0.05,
  permutation = FALSE,
  numPermu = 200,
  bootstrap = FALSE,
  numBoot = 200
)

Arguments

wass_regress_res	an object returned by the wass_regress function
alpha	type one error rate
permutation	logical; perform permutation global F test (default: FALSE)
numPermu	number of permutation samples if permutation = TRUE
bootstrap	logical; bootstrap global F test (default: FALSE)
numBoot	number of bootstrap samples if bootstrap = TRUE

Details

four methods used to compute p value of global F test

• truncated: asymptotic inference, p-value is obtained by truncating the infinite summation of eigenvalues into the first K terms, where the first K terms explain more than 99.99% of the variance.

• satterthwaite: asymptotic inference, p-value is computed using Satterthwaite's approximation method of mixtures of chi-square.

• permutation: resampling technique; Wasserstein SSR is used as the F statistic.

• bootstrap: resampling technique; Wasserstein SSR is used as the F statistic.

Value

a list containing the following fields:

• wasserstein.F_stat:the Wasserstein F statistic value in Satterthwaite method.

• chisq_df:the degree of freedom of the null chi-square distribution.

• summary_df:a dataframe containing the following columns:

  • method:methods used to compute p value, see details

  • statistic:the test statistics

  • critical_value:critical value

  • p_value:p value of global F test

Examples

data(strokeCTdensity)
predictor = strokeCTdensity$predictors
dSup = strokeCTdensity$densitySupport
densityCurves = strokeCTdensity$densityCurve

res = wass_regress(rightside_formula = ~., Xfit_df = predictor,
Ytype = 'density', Ymat = densityCurves, Sup = dSup)
globalF_res = globalFtest(res, alpha = 0.05, permutation = TRUE, numPermu = 200)
