Syntax

Description

example

rhoPD =PDrho(u, alpha) Plot of rho function.

Examples

  • Plot of rho function.

    • close all
    x=-6:0.01:6;
    alpha=1;
    rhoPD=PDrho(x,alpha);
    plot(x,rhoPD,'LineWidth',2)
    xlabel('$u$','Interpreter','Latex')
    ylabel('$\rho (u,1)$','Interpreter','Latex')

  • Compare two rho functions for 2 different values of alpha.

    • In the first we fix the bdp (value of efficiency is automatically given), while in the second we find the efficiency (the value of bdp is automatically given)

    x=-6:0.01:6;
    lwd=2;
    alpha1=1;
    bdp1=1-1/sqrt(1+alpha1);
    eff1=(sqrt(1+2*alpha1)/(1+alpha1))^3;
    hold('on')
    rhoPD=PDrho(x,alpha1);
    plot(x,rhoPD,'LineStyle','-','LineWidth',lwd)

    eff2=(sqrt(1+2*alpha2)/(1+alpha2))^3;

    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

    rhoPD —Minimum density power divergence rho function associated to the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. n -by- 1 vector
