SIGNIFICANCE TEST

Description

Performs a permutation test.

Usage

sig.test(D, R, changes, min.size, obs, env=emptyenv())

Arguments

D

A n by n distnace matrix.

R

The number of permutations to use in the permutation test.

changes

The set of current change points.

min.size

Minimum number of observations between change points.

obs

Test statistic value for non-permuted data.

env

Environment with information used to reduce computational time.

Details

Called by the e.divisive method, and should not be called by the user.

Value

The returned value is the approximate p-value obtained by the permutation test. The permutaiton test is performed using the method outlined in Gandy (2009).
