initest_options: Additional Options for the Initial Estimator

Description

Specify additional options for the initial estimator based on the Pena-Yohai estimator.

Usage

initest_options(keep_solutions = 5, psc_method = c("exact", "rr"),
  maxit = 10, maxit_pense_refinement = 5, eps = 1e-06, psc_keep = 0.5,
  resid_keep_method = c("proportion", "threshold"), resid_keep_prop = 0.6,
  resid_keep_thresh = 2, mscale_eps = 1e-08, mscale_maxit = 200)

Arguments

keep_solutions

how many initial estimates should be kept to perform full PENSE iterations?

psc_method

The method to use for computing the principal sensitivity components. See details for the possible choices.

maxit

maximum number of refinement iterations.

maxit_pense_refinement

maximum number of PENSE iterations to refine initial estimator.

eps

numeric tolerance for convergence.

psc_keep

proportion of observations to keep based on the PSC scores.

resid_keep_method

How to clean the data based on large residuals. If "proportion", observations with the smallest resid_keep_prop residuals will be retained. If "threshold", all observations with scaled residuals smaller than the threshold resid_keep_thresh will be retained.

resid_keep_prop, resid_keep_thresh

proportion or threshold for observations to keep based on their residual.

mscale_eps, mscale_maxit

maximum number of iterations and numeric tolerance for the M-scale.

Value

a checked options list.

Details

Two different methods to calculate the sensitivity components are implemented:

"rr"

Approximate the PSCs by using the residuals from the elastic net fit and the hat matrix from the ridge regression. This method only works if alpha < 1 or ncol(x) < nrow(x).

"exact"

Calculate the PSCs from the difference between the residuals and leave-one-out residuals from elastic net.
