ddst.exp.test: Data Driven Smooth Test for Exponentiality

In ddst: Data Driven Smooth Tests

Description

Performs data driven smooth test for composite hypothesis of exponentiality.

Usage

ddst.exp.test(x, base = ddst.base.legendre, c = 100, B = 1000, compute.p = F, 
    Dmax = 5, ...)

Arguments

x	a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.
base	a function which returns orthogonal system, might be ddst.base.legendre for Legendre polynomials or ddst.base.cos for cosine system, see package description.
c	a parameter for model selection rule, see package description.
B	an integer specifying the number of replicates used in p-value computation.
compute.p	a logical value indicating whether to compute a p-value.
Dmax	an integer specifying the maximum number of coordinates, only for advanced users.
...	further arguments.

Details

Null density is given by $f(z;gamma) = exp(-z/gamma)$ for z >= 0 and 0 otherwise.

Modelling alternatives similarly as in Kallenberg and Ledwina (1997 a,b), e.g., and estimating $gamma$ by $tilde gamma= 1/n sum_i=1^n Z_i$ yields the efficient score vector $l^*(Z_i;tilde gamma)=(phi_1(F(Z_i;tilde gamma)),...,phi_k(F(Z_i;tilde gamma)))$, where $phi_j$'s are jth degree orthonormal Legendre polynomials on [0,1] or cosine functions $sqrt(2) cos(pi j x), j>=1$, while $F(z;gamma)$ is the distribution function pertaining to $f(z;gamma)$.

The matrix $[I^*(tilde gamma)]^-1$ does not depend on $tilde gamma$ and is calculated for succeding dimensions k using some recurrent relations for Legendre's polynomials and computed in a numerical way in case of cosine basis. In the implementation the default value of c in $T^*$ is set to be 100.

Therefore, $T^*$ practically coincides with S1 considered in Kallenberg and Ledwina (1997 a).

data.name	a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
p.value	the p-value for the test, computed only if compute.p=T.
