transform_mod_cv: Transforms data according to the modified CV rule

In cmstatr: Statistical Methods for Composite Material Data

Transforms data according to the modified CV rule

Description

Transforms data according to the modified coefficient of variation (CV) rule. This is used to add additional variance to datasets with unexpectedly low variance, which is sometimes encountered during testing of new materials over short periods of time.

Two versions of this transformation are implemented. The first version, transform_mod_cv(), transforms the data in a single group (with no other structure) according to the modified CV rules.

The second version, transform_mod_cv_ad(), transforms data that is structured according to both condition and batch, as is commonly done for the Anderson–Darling k-Sample and Anderson-Darling tests when pooling across environments.

Usage

transform_mod_cv_ad(x, condition, batch)

transform_mod_cv(x)

Arguments

x	a vector of data to transform
condition	a vector indicating the condition to which each observation belongs
batch	a vector indicating the batch to which each observation belongs

Details

The modified CV transformation takes the general form:

\frac{S_i^*}{S_i} (x_{ij} - \bar{x_i}) + \bar{x_i}

Where S_i^* is the modified standard deviation (mod CV times mean) for the ith group; S_i is the standard deviation for the ith group, \bar{x_i} is the group mean and x_{ij} is the observation.

transform_mod_cv() takes a vector containing the observations and transforms the data. The equation above is used, and all observations are considered to be from the same group.

transform_mod_cv_ad() takes a vector containing the observations plus a vector containing the corresponding conditions and a vector containing the batches. This function first calculates the modified CV value from the data from each condition (independently). Then, within each condition, the transformation above is applied to produce the transformed data x'. This transformed data is further transformed using the following equation.

x_{ij}'' = C (x'_{ij} - \bar{x_i}) + \bar{x_i}

Where:

C = \sqrt{\frac{SSE^*}{SSE'}}

SSE^* = (n-1) (CV^* \bar{x})^2 - \sum(n_i(\bar{x_i}-\bar{x})^2)

SSE' = \sum(x'_{ij} - \bar{x_i})^2

Value

A vector of transformed data
