Syntax

Description

example

ceff =HUeff(eff, v) Find c in regression for 95 per cent efficiency.

example

ceff =HUeff(eff, v, shapeeff) Analyze constant c as a function of eff.

Examples

  • Find c in regression for 95 per cent efficiency.

    • The constant c associated to a nominal location efficiency of 95% in regression is c = 1.344997508513144 

    c=HUeff(0.95,1)

  • Analyze constant c as a function of eff.

    • Initialize the matrix which stores the values of c for the two methods 

    eff=[0.70:0.0001:0.9999];
    cc=[eff' zeros(length(eff),1)];
    for i=1:length(eff)
    cc(i,2)=HUeff(eff(i),1);
    end
    figure
    plot(cc(:,1),cc(:,2),'LineStyle','-','LineWidth',2)
    xlabel('Effciency')
    ylabel('Value of c')

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    eff — required efficiency. Scalar.

    Scalar which contains the required efficiency (of location or scale estimator).

    Data Types: single|double Generally eff=0.85, 0.9 or 0.95

    v — Number of response variables. Scalar.

    e.g. in regression v=1 Now it is implemented just for v=1

    Data Types: single|double|int32|int64

    Optional Arguments

    shapeeff — Location or shape efficiency. Scalar.

    If 1, the efficiency is referred to shape else (default) is referred to location (not implemented yet)

    Example: 'shapeeff',1

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    expand all

    ceff —Requested tuning constant. Scalar

    Tuning constatnt of Tukey Biweigh rho function associated to requested value of efficiency
