getRadius: Computation of the Optimal Radius for Given Clipping Bound

Description

The usual robust optimality problem for given asGRisk searches the optimal clipping height b of a Hampel-type IC to given radius of the neighborhood. Instead, again for given asGRisk and for given Hampel-Type IC with given clipping height b we may determine the radius of the neighborhood for which it is optimal in the sense of the first sentence.

Usage

getRadius(IC, risk, neighbor, L2Fam)

Arguments

IC

an IC of class "HampIC".

risk

object of class "RiskType".

neighbor

object of class "Neighborhood".

L2Fam

object of class "L2FamParameter". Can be missing; in this case it is constructed from slot CallL2Fam of IC.
