set_uniform_cd: Set a uniform change distribution.

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

View source: R/change_distributions.R

Description

This function is used to specify a change distribution to be used in conjuction with the function tpca. All components of the distribution (marginal and conditional distributions) are uniform, but the probability/importance of each type of change can be specified, along with the range of sparsity of the change, as well as ranges for the sizes and directions of the different change types. In each simulation run, after a change sparsity has been drawn, which dimensions that are affected by a change is always randomized. Choices for the distribution should reflect prior knowledge about which changes that are of interest to detect.

set_uniform_cd(data_dim, prob = rep(1/3, 3), sparsities = 2:data_dim,
  mean_int = c(-1.5, 1.5), sd_int = c(2.5^(-1), 2.5),
  sd_inc_prob = 0.5, cor_int = c(0, 1), change_equal = FALSE)

Arguments

data_dim

An integer specifying the dimension of the data.

prob

A numeric vector of length 3 specifying the probability of a change in the mean, variance or correlation, respectively.

sparsities

An integer vector containing values between 2 (minimum sparsity for changes in the correlation) and data_dim.

mean_int

A vector of length 2 specifying the lower and upper bound of the interval that changes in the mean components are drawn uniformly from.

sd_int

A vector of length 2 specifying the lower and upper bound of the interval that multiplicative changes in the standard deviations are drawn from. Must be between ε and ε^{-1}, where ε = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps).

sd_inc_prob

A numeric between 0 and 1 indicating the probability of a change in the standard deviation being an increase.

cor_int

A vector of length 2 specifying the lower and upper bound of the interval that multiplicative changes in the correlations are drawn from. Only values between 0 and 1 are allowed, i.e. a jump towards 0 of the correlation coefficients.

change_equal

A logical for whether all affected dimensions should change by the same amount, or by amounts independent of eachother. For example, if TRUE and the mean changes, μ_d = μ for all d in D, where D is the set of affected dims.

Details

See references.

Value

set_uniform_cd returns an S3 object of class "change_distr". This is a list containing the following functions:

draw_types(n_sim)

A function that draws n_sim change types among ('mean', 'sd', 'cor') with probabilities prob.

draw_sparsities(n_sim)

A function that draws n_sim change sparsities uniformly from sparsities.

draw_dims(k)

A function that uniformly draws a size k subset of affected dimensions.

draw_mean(k)

A function that draws k values uniformly from mean_int.

draw_sd(k)

A function that draws an increase in the standard deviation uniformly from [0, sd_int[2]] with probability sd_inc_prob, and a decrease in standard deviation uniformly from [sd_int[1], 1] with probability 1 - sd_inc_prob.

draw_cor(k)

A function that draws k values uniformly from cor_int

The functions with argument n_sim are called with the number of simulations as arguments, while the ones with argument k are called in each simulation run with a number depending on the change sparsity.
