R Documentation

Finds the tuning constant(s) associated to the supplied breakdown point or asymptotic efficiency for different psi functions

Description

Finds the tuning constant(s) associated to the supplied breakdown point or asymptotic efficiency or computes breakdown point and efficiency associated with the supplied constant(s) for the following psi functions: TB=Tukey biweight, HA=Hampel, HU=Huber, HYP=Hyperbolic, OPT=Optimal, PD=mdpd.

Usage

psifun(
  u = vector(mode = "double", length = 0),
  p = 1,
  fun = c("TB", "bisquare", "biweight", "HA", "hampel", "HU", "huber", "HYP",
    "hyperbolic", "OPT", "optimal", "PD", "mdpd"),
  bdp,
  eff,
  const,
  param,
  trace = FALSE
)

Arguments

`u`	optional vector containing scaled residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the `n` units of the sample. If not provided, rho, psi, psider, psix and weights are not computed
`p`	number of variables (`p=1` for regression)
`fun`	psi function class. One of TB, HA, HU, HP, OPT or PD.
`bdp`	requested breakdown point
`eff`	requested asymptotic efficiency
`const`	tuning constant c
`param`	additional parameters
`trace`	whether to print intermediate results. Default is `trace=FALSE`.

Value

A list will be returned containing the following elements:

class: link function which has be used. Possible values are 'bisquare', 'optimal', 'hyperbolic', 'hampel', 'huber' or 'mdpd'
bdp: breakdown point
eff: asymptotic efficiency
c1: consistency factor (and other parameters) associated to required breakdown point or nominal efficiency.
kc1: Expectation of rho associated with c1 to get a consistent estimator at the model distribution kc1 = E(rho) = sup(rho)*bdp
rho: vector of length n which contains the rho function associated to the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. Empty if u is not provided.
psi: vector of length n which contains the psi function associated with the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. Empty if u is not provided.
psider: vector of length n which contains the derivative of the psi function associated with the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. Empty if u is not provided.
psix: vector of length n which contains the psi function mutiplied by u associated with the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. Empty if u is not provided.
wei: vector of length n which contains the weights associated with the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. Empty if u is not provided.
