gjamCensorY: Censor gjam response data

In dbystrova/GJAM_clust: Generalized Joint Attribute Modeling

Description

Returns a list with censored values, intervals, and censored response matrix y.

Usage

  gjamCensorY(values, intervals, y, type='CA', whichcol = c(1:ncol(y)))

Arguments

values	Values in y that are censored, specified by intervals
intervals	matrix having two rows and one column for each value in values. The first row holds lower bounds. The second row holds upper bounds. See Examples.
y	Response matrix, n rows by S columns. All values within intervals will be replaced with values
type	Response type, see typeNames in gjam
whichcol	Columns in y that are censored (often not all responses are censored)

Details

Any values in y that fall within censored intervals are replaced with censored values. The example below simulates data collected on an 'octave scale': 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, ..., an approach to accelerate data collection with approximate bins.

Value

Returns a list containing two elements.

y	n by S matrix updated with censored values substituted for those falling within intervals.
censor	list containing $columns that are censored and $partition, a matrix with 3 rows used in gjam and gjamPlot, one column per censor interval. Rows are values, followed by lower and upper bounds.
