Auxiliary for feeding parameters to different methods

Description

A function to create a list of arguments for ictest.

Usage

mControl(cm=NULL,nmc=10^3-1,seed=1234321,digits=12,p.conf.level=.99,
    setSEED=TRUE,tol.svd=10^-8,nwsr=10^3-1,np=10^3-1,tsmethod="central")

Arguments

cm	a choose(n,m) by n matrix, used if method='exact.ce', ignored otherwise
nmc	number of Monte Carlo replications, used if method='exact.mc', ignored otherwise
seed	value used in set.seed if method='exact.mc', or any of three wsr methods, ignored otherwise
setSEED	logical, set to FALSE when performing simulations
p.conf.level	confidence level for p value estimate, used if method='exact.mc', ignored otherwise
digits	number of digits to use in signif for precision of test statistics
tol.svd	tolerance for use in calculating g-inverse, values less than tol.svd are set to zero, used when method='scoretest'
nwsr	number of within subject resamples, used when method='wsr.mc', 'wsr.HLY', or 'wsr.pclt'
np	number of permutation replications within each wsr, used when method='wsr.mc'
tsmethod	two-sided method for exact permutation tests, either 'central' or 'abs' (see permControl)

Details

When cm=NULL the resulting matrix is created by chooseMatrix, it may be optionally provided here only so that chooseMatrix does not need to be repeatedly called in simulations. Also when doing simulations (with method='exact.mc' or any of the wsr methods), use setSEED=FALSE so that the seed is not reset to the same value each time you call the function.

See calcPvalsMC for description of how p.conf.level is used.

Value

An list with the arguments as components.
