summarizeRobWeights: Print a Nice "summary" of Robustness Weights

In robustbase: Basic Robust Statistics

Print a Nice "summary" of Robustness Weights

Description

Print a nice “summary” about a numeric vector of robustness weights. Observations with weights around zero are marked as outliers.

Usage

summarizeRobWeights(w, digits = getOption("digits"),
                    header = "Robustness weights:",
 	            eps = 0.1 / length(w), eps1 = 1e-3, ...)

Arguments

w	numeric vector of robustness weigths.
digits	digits to be used for printing.
header	string to be printed as header line.
eps	numeric tolerance \epsilon: values of w with \left|w_i\right| < \epsilon/n are said to be outliers.
eps1	numeric tolerance: values of w with \left|1 - w_i\right| < eps1 are said to have weight ‘~= 1’.
...	potential further arguments, passed to print().

Value

none; the function is used for its side effect of printing.

The summary methods for lmrob and glmrob make use of summarizeRobWeights().

Our methods for weights(), weights.lmrob(*, type="robustness") and weights.glmrob(*, type="robustness").

Examples

w <- c(1,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,.9999,.99999, .5,.6,1e-12)
summarizeRobWeights(w) # two outside ~= {0,1}
summarizeRobWeights(w, eps1 = 5e-5)# now three outside {0,1}
