HirukawaTSKernel: Class '"HirukawaTSKernel"'

In bde: Bounded Density Estimation

Class "HirukawaTSKernel"

Description

This class deals with the TS Kernel estimator as described in Hirukawa (2010). The kernel estimator is computed using the provided data samples. Using this kernel estimator, the methods implemented in the class can be used to compute densities, values of the distribution function, quantiles, sample the distribution and obtain graphical representations.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by using the generator function hirukawaTSKernel.

Slots

dataPointsCache:

a numeric vector containing points within the [lower.limit,upper.limit] interval

densityCache:

a numeric vector containing the density for each point in dataPointsCache

distributionCache:

a numeric vector used to cache the values of the distribution function. This slot is included to improve the performance of the methods when multiple calculations of the distribution function are used

dataPoints:

a numeric vector containing data samples within the [lower.limit,upper.limit] interval. These data samples are used to obtain the kernel estimator

b:

the bandwidth of the kernel estimator

modified:

if TRUE, the modified version of the kernel estimator is used

c:

a numeric value between 0 and 1. This parameter is used in the TS approximation as a smoothing parameter

lower.limit:

a numeric value for the lower limit of the bounded interval for the data

upper.limit:

a numeric value for the upper limit of the bounded interval for the data

Examples

# create the model 
kernel.noModified <- hirukawaTSKernel(dataPoints = tuna.r, b = 0.01, 
                      modified = FALSE, c = 0.5)
kernel.Modified <- hirukawaTSKernel(dataPoints = tuna.r, b = 0.01,
                      modified = TRUE, c = 0.5)

# examples of usual functions
density(kernel.noModified,0.5)
density(kernel.Modified,0.5)

distribution(kernel.noModified,1,discreteApproximation=FALSE)
distribution(kernel.noModified,1,discreteApproximation=TRUE)
 
distribution(kernel.Modified,1,discreteApproximation=FALSE)
distribution(kernel.Modified,1,discreteApproximation=TRUE)
 
# graphical representation
hist(tuna.r,freq=FALSE,main="Chen99 Kernels Tuna Data")
lines(kernel.noModified,col="red",lwd=2)
lines(kernel.Modified,col="blue",lwd=2)

# graphical representation using ggplot2 
graph <- gplot(list("noModified"=kernel.noModified, 
          "modified"=kernel.Modified), show=TRUE)
