cwLocScat: Estimate location and scatter of data with cellwise weights

In cellWise: Analyzing Data with Cellwise Outliers

Estimate location and scatter of data with cellwise weights

Description

Computes different estimators of multivariate location and scatter for cellwise weighted data.

Usage

cwLocScat(X, W, methods = "all", lmin = 1e-3,
                     crit = 1e-12, maxiter= 1000, 
                     initCwCov = FALSE, initEst = NULL)

Arguments

X	An n by d data matrix or data frame. Must be given. X is allowed to contain NA's.
W	An n by d matrix of nonnegative cellwise weights. Must be given. W is not allowed to contain NA's.
methods	either "all" or "explicit". If "explicit" only the explicit estimates cwMean, cwCov and sqrtCov are computed. If "all" (the default) also the cellwise MLE is carried out, yielding cwMLEmu and cwMLEsigma.
lmin	if not NULL, a lower bound on the eigenvalues of the estimated covariance matrices on the standardized data, to avoid singularity.
crit	convergence criterion of successive mu and Sigma estimates in the EM algorithm.
maxiter	maximal number of iteration steps in EM.
initCwCov	if TRUE, uses the weighted mean and cwCov as initial estimates for the weighted EM.
initEst	if not NULL, a list with initial estimates $mu of the mean, $Sigma of the covariance matrix, for the weighted EM. Has no effect when initCwCov = TRUE.

Value

A list with components:

• cwMean
  the explicit cellwise weighted mean.

• cwCov
  explicit cellwise weighted covariance matrix. Is asymptotically normal but not necessarily PSD (unless a nonnegative lmin was specified).

• sqrtCov
  the cellwise weighted covariance matrix of Van Aelst et al (2011). Also asymptotically normal but not necessarily PSD (unless a nonnegative lmin was specified).

• cwMLEmu
  the location estimate obtained by the cwMLE.

• cwMLEsigma
  the covariance matrix obtained by the cwMLE. Is PSD when the EM algorithm converges.
