  • Plot the second derivative of minimum power divergence estimator.

    • x=-6:0.01:6;
alpha=1;
c=2;
psiPDder=PDpsider(x,c);
plot(x,psiPDder)
xlabel('x','Interpreter','Latex')
ylabel('$\psi''(x)$','Interpreter','Latex')

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    u — scaled residuals or Mahalanobis distances. Vector.

    n x 1 vector containing residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample

    Data Types: single| double

    alpha — tuning parameter. Scalar.

    Scalar in the interval (0,1] which controls the robustness/efficiency of the estimator (beta in regression or mu in the location case ...). The greater is alpha the greater is the bdp and smaller is the efficiency.

    Data Types: single| double

    Output Arguments

    expand all

    psider —derivative of psi function. Vector

    n x 1 vector which contains the values of the derivative of the psi function of minimum power divergence estimator associated to the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample.

    Additional Details

    Function PDpsider transforms vector u as follows \[ PDpsider(u)= \alpha (1- \alpha u^2) \exp{-\alpha u^2/2} \]
