CovSest | R Documentation |
Computes S-Estimates of multivariate location and scatter based on Tukey's biweight function using a fast algorithm similar to the one proposed by Salibian-Barrera and Yohai (2006) for the case of regression. Alternativley, the Ruppert's SURREAL algorithm, bisquare or Rocke type estimation can be used.

x |
a matrix or data frame. |
bdp |
a numeric value specifying the required
breakdown point. Allowed values are between
|
arp |
a numeric value specifying the asympthotic
rejection point (for the Rocke type S estimates),
i.e. the fraction of points receiving zero
weight (see Rocke (1996)). Default is |
eps |
a numeric value specifying the
relative precision of the solution of the S-estimate
(bisquare and Rocke type). Default is to |
maxiter |
maximum number of iterations allowed
in the computation of the S-estimate (bisquare and Rocke type).
Default is |
nsamp |
the number of random subsets considered. The default is different for the different methods:
(i) for |
seed |
starting value for random generator. Default is |
trace |
whether to print intermediate results. Default is |
tolSolve |
numeric tolerance to be used for inversion
( |
scalefn |
|
maxisteps |
maximal number of concentration steps in the deterministic S-estimates; should not be reached. |
initHsets |
NULL or a |
save.hsets |
(for deterministic S-estimates) logical indicating if the
initial subsets should be returned as |
method |
Which algorithm to use: 'sfast'=C implementation of FAST-S, 'surreal'=SURREAL,
'bisquare', 'rocke'. The method 'suser' currently calls the R implementation of FAST-S
but in the future will allow the user to supply own |
control |
a control object (S4) of class |
t0 |
optional initial HBDP estimate for the center |
S0 |
optional initial HBDP estimate for the covariance matrix |
initcontrol |
optional control object to be used for computing the initial HBDP estimates |
Computes multivariate S-estimator of location and scatter. The computation will be performed by one of the following algorithms:
An algorithm similar to the one proposed by Salibian-Barrera and Yohai (2006) for the case of regression
Ruppert's SURREAL algorithm when method
is set to 'surreal'
Bisquare S-Estimate with method
set to 'bisquare'
Rocke type S-Estimate with method
set to 'rocke'
Except for the last algorithm, ROCKE, all other use Tukey biweight loss function.
The tuning parameters used in the loss function (as determined by bdp) are
returned in the slots cc
and kp
of the result object. They can be computed
by the internal function .csolve.bw.S(bdp, p)
.
An S4 object of class CovSest-class
which is a subclass of the
virtual class CovRobust-class
.
