RKeff

RKeff finds the constants c and M which are associated to the requested efficiency and ARP

Syntax

Description

example

c =RKeff(eff, v) Find c given a value of efficiency.

example

c =RKeff(eff, v, ARP) Find c and M given a value of efficiency.

example

[c, M] =RKeff(___) Find the value of c for efficiency which goes to 1.

Examples

expand all

  • Find c and M given a value of efficiency.
  • The constant c associated to a nominal location efficiency of 95% in regression is c = 3.180662196584308

    [c,M]=RKeff(0.95,5,0.05)

  • Find the value of c for efficiency which goes to 1.
  • ef=0.75:0.01:0.99;
    CC=[ef' zeros(length(ef),1)];
    jk=0;
    for j=ef
    jk=jk+1;
    CC(jk,2)=OPTeff(j,1);
    end

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    eff — required efficiency. Scalar.

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

    Generally eff=0.85, 0.9 or 0.95

    Data Types: single|double

    v — Number of response variables. Scalar.

    e.g. in regression v=1

    Data Types: single|double|int32|int64

    Optional Arguments

    ARP — asymptotic rejection probability. Scalar.

    The asymptotic rejection probability of an estimator is defined as the probability in large sample under a reference distribution that a Malanobis distance excees $c_0$, where $c_0=inf \{ u_0 | w(u)=0, \forall u>u_0 \}$.

    $w(u)$ is the weight function (defined in RKwei.m). In other words, given $c_0=sup(\rho(u))$,if an estimator is normed to the normal distribution ARP is $1-F_{\chi^2_v}(c_0^2)$.

    The default value of ARP is 0.05.

    Example: 0.04

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    expand all

    c —Requested tuning constant. Scalar

    Tuning constatnt of Rocke rho function (translated Tukey Biweight) associated to requested efficiency and asymptotic rejection probability

    M —Requested tuning constant. Scalar

    Tuning constant of Rocke rho function (translated Tukey Biweight) associated to requested efficiency and asymptotic rejection probability
