check_endpoints: Checks if two equally sized numeric vectors satisfy the...

In genscore: Generalized Score Matching Estimators

Checks if two equally sized numeric vectors satisfy the requirements for being left and right endpoints of a domain defined as a union of intervals.

Description

Checks if two equally sized numeric vectors satisfy the requirements for being left and right endpoints of a domain defined as a union of intervals.

Usage

check_endpoints(lefts, rights)

Arguments

lefts	A non-empty vector of numbers (may contain -Inf), the left endpoints of a domain defined as a union of intervals.
rights	A non-empty vector of numbers (may contain Inf), the right endpoints of a domain defined as a union of intervals. Must have the same size as lefts.

Details

Both lefts and rights must be non-empty and should have the same length. Suppose lefts and rights both have length l, [lefts[1], rights[1]], ..., [lefts[l], rights[l]] must be an increasing and non-overlapping set of valid intervals, meaning lefts[i] <= rights[i] <= lefts[j] for any i < j (singletons and overlapping at the boundary points are allowed). Inf is not allowed in lefts and -Inf is not allowed in rights.

Value

NULL. Program stops if lefts and rights do not define valid left and right endpoints.

Examples

## [-4,-3], [-2,-1], [0,1], [2,3], [4,5]
check_endpoints(lefts=c(-4,-2,0,2,4), rights=c(-3,-1,1,3,5))
## Not run: 
check_endpoints(lefts=c(), rights=c()) # Cannot be empty
check_endpoints(lefts=c(-4,-2,0,2,4), rights=c(-3,-1,1,3)) # Unequal length
check_endpoints(lefts=c(Inf), rights=c(Inf)) # No Inf in lefts, otherwise invalid interval
check_endpoints(lefts=c(-Inf), rights=c(-Inf)) # No -Inf in rights, otherwise invalid interval
check_endpoints(lefts=c(0, 1), rights=c(2, 3)) # [0,2] and [1,3] overlap, not allowed
check_endpoints(lefts=c(2, 0), rights=c(3, 1)) # [2,3], [0,1] not increasing, not allowed

## End(Not run)
## Singletons and overlapping at the boundary points allowed
check_endpoints(lefts=c(0, 1, 2), rights=c(0, 2, 3))
