selectEq: Select active dimensions for small dimensional estimate

Description Usage Arguments Value References

Description

The function selectEq selects the active dimensions for the computation of p_q with an heuristic method.

Usage

1
2
selectEq(q = NULL, E, Thresh, mu, Sigma, pn = NULL, method = 1,
  verb = 0)

Arguments

q

either the fixed number of active dimensions or the range where the number of active dimensions is chosen with selectQdims. If NULL the function selectQdims is called.

E

discretization design for the field.

Thresh

threshold.

mu

mean vector.

Sigma

covariance matrix.

pn

coverage function (if NULL it is computed).

method

integer chosen between

  • 0 selects by taking equally spaced indexes in mu;

  • 1 samples from pn;

  • 2 samples from pn*(1-pn);

  • 3 samples from pn adjusting for the distance (tries to explore all modes);

  • 4 samples from pn*(1-pn) adjusting for the distance (tries to explore all modes);

  • 5 samples with uniform probabilities.

verb

level of verbosity: 0 returns nothing, 1 returns minimal info

Value

A vector of integers denoting the chosen active dimensions of the vector mu.
