In crossrun: Joint Distribution of Number of Crossings and Longest Run

Joint Distribution for Crossings and Runs Using the Empirical Median.

Description

Joint probability distribution for the number of crossings C and the longest run L in a sequence of n Bernoulli observations where the number of successes is fixed at m, m between 0 and n. For fixed n, the joint distribution is computed for all m, this makes the computation demanding in terms of time and storage requirements. The joint distribution is computed separately for sequences where the first observation is, or is not, a success. The results are mainly intended for use when n is even and m=n/2, but computation in this case requires that all distributions are computed previously for all m, for all shorter sequences (lower n). In the case of even n and m=n/2, the distributions for sequences starting or not with a success are identical, and only the distribution among sequences starting with a success is used. In that case, this may be interpreted as the joint distribution for sequences around the empirical median.

Usage

crossrunem(nmax = 100, prec = 120, printn = FALSE)

Arguments

nmax	max sequence length.
prec	mpft precision.
printn	logical for progress output.

Value

nfi, number of sequences with m successes, starting with a success, and nfn, number of sequences with m successes, not starting with a success. Three-dimensional Rmpfr arrays for each n up to nmax, with dimensions n (C=0 to n-1), n (L=1 to n) and n+1 (m=0 to n). For n even and m=n/2, only nfi, and the part corresponding to C=1 to n-1 and L=1 and m=n/2 is non-zero and should be used.

Examples

crem14 <- crossrunem(nmax=14, printn=TRUE)
Rmpfr::asNumeric(crem14$nfi[[14]][,,"m=7"]) # subsets of size 7=14/2
# restricted to possible values of C and L
Rmpfr::asNumeric(crem14$nfi[[14]][-1,1:7,"m=7"]) # same as stored data joint14em
Rmpfr::asNumeric(crem14$nfn[[14]][-1,1:7,"m=7"]) # the same

# subsets of sizes different from 14/2
# size 4, first observation included
Rmpfr::asNumeric(crem14$nfi[[14]][,,"m=4"])
# size 14-4=10, first observation not included
Rmpfr::asNumeric(crem14$nfn[[14]][,,"m=10"]) # the same
