In elvanceyhan/pcds: Proximity Catch Digraphs and Their Applications

A test of uniformity of 1D data in a given interval based on Proportional Edge Proximity Catch Digraph (PE-PCD)

Description

An object of class "htest". This is an "htest" (i.e., hypothesis test) function which performs a hypothesis test of uniformity of 1D data in one interval based on the normal approximation of the arc density of the PE-PCD with expansion parameter r \ge 1 and centrality parameter c \in (0,1).

The function yields the test statistic, p-value for the corresponding alternative, the confidence interval, estimate and null value for the parameter of interest (which is the arc density), and method and name of the data set used.

The null hypothesis is that data is uniform in a finite interval (i.e., arc density of PE-PCD equals to its expected value under uniform distribution) and alternative could be two-sided, or left-sided (i.e., data is accumulated around the end points) or right-sided (i.e., data is accumulated around the mid point or center M_c).

Usage

PEarc.dens.test.int(
  Xp,
  int,
  r,
  c = 0.5,
  alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
  conf.level = 0.95
)

Arguments

Xp	A set or vector of 1D points which constitute the vertices of PE-PCD.
int	A vector of two real numbers representing an interval.
r	A positive real number which serves as the expansion parameter in PE proximity region; must be \ge 1.
c	A positive real number in (0,1) parameterizing the center inside int=(a,b) with the default c=.5. For the interval, int=(a,b), the parameterized center is M_c=a+c(b-a).
alternative	Type of the alternative hypothesis in the test, one of "two.sided", "less", "greater".
conf.level	Level of the confidence interval, default is 0.95, for the arc density of PE-PCD based on the 1D data set Xp.

Value

A list with the elements

statistic	Test statistic
p.value	The p-value for the hypothesis test for the corresponding alternative
conf.int	Confidence interval for the arc density at the given confidence level conf.level and depends on the type of alternative.
estimate	Estimate of the parameter, i.e., arc density
null.value	Hypothesized value for the parameter, i.e., the null arc density, which is usually the mean arc density under uniform distribution.
alternative	Type of the alternative hypothesis in the test, one of "two.sided", "less", "greater"
method	Description of the hypothesis test
data.name	Name of the data set
