Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

This function computes the Modified Epigraphic Index (MEI) of elements of a univariate functional dataset.

MEI(Data)

## S3 method for class 'fData'
MEI(Data)

## Default S3 method:
MEI(Data)

Data

either an fData object or a matrix-like dataset of functional data (e.g. fData$values), with observations as rows and measurements over grid points as columns.

Given a univariate functional dataset, X_1(t), X_2(t), …, X_N(t), defined over a compact interval I=[a,b], this function computes the MEI, i.e.:

MEI( X(t) ) = \frac{1}{N} ∑_{i=1}^N \tilde{λ}( X(t) ≤q X_i(t) ),

where \tilde{λ}(\cdot) is the normalized Lebesgue measure over I=[a,b], that is \tilde{λ(A)} = λ( A ) / ( b - a ).

The function returns a vector containing the values of MEI for each element of the functional dataset provided in Data.
