cutoff: Generating function(s) for class 'cutoff'

Description

Generating function(s) for class cutoff.

Usage

cutoff(name = "empirical", body.fct0,
       cutoff.quantile  = 0.95,
       norm = NormType(), QF, nsim = 100000)
cutoff.sememp()
cutoff.chisq()

Arguments

Value

Object of class "cutoff".

Details

cutoff generates a valid object of class "cutoff". As function slot fct may only have a formal argument data, the other arguments to determine the cutoff value, i.e. norm, QF, nsim, cutoff.quantile, nsim have to enter the scope of this function by lexical scoping; now cutoff.quantile, norm, QF are to be taken from the calling environment (not from the defining one), so we have delay evaluation of the function body, which is why we assume it to be given wrapped into substitute resp. quote. body.fct0 is by default (i.e. if argument body.fct0 is missing) set to quote(quantile(slot(norm,"fct")(data), cutoff.quantile)), internally, i.e.; to an empirical quantile of the corresponding norms. cutoff.sememp() is a helper function generating the theoretical (asymptotic) quantile of (the square root of) a corresponding quadratic form, assuming multivariate normality; to determine this quantile nsim simulations are used. cutoff.chisq() is a helper function generating the theoretical (asymptotic) quantile of (the square root of) a (self-standardized) quadratic form, assuming multivariate normality; i.e.; a corresponding quantile of a Chi-Square distribution.
