Scontrol: Tuning parameters for multivariate S, MM and GS estimates

Description

Tuning parameters for multivariate S, MM and GS estimates as used in FRB functions for multivariate regression, PCA and Hotelling tests. Mainly regarding the fast-(G)S algorithm.

Usage

Scontrol(nsamp = 500, k = 3, bestr = 5, convTol = 1e-10, maxIt = 50)

MMcontrol(bdp = 0.5, eff = 0.95, shapeEff = FALSE, convTol.MM = 1e-07, maxIt.MM = 50, fastScontrols = Scontrol(...), ...)

GScontrol(nsamp = 100, k = 3, bestr = 5, convTol = 1e-10, maxIt = 50)

Value

A list with the tuning parameters as set by the arguments.

Arguments

nsamp

number of random subsamples to be used in the fast-(G)S algorithm

k

number of initial concentration steps performed on each subsample candidate

bestr

number of best candidates to keep for full iteration (i.e. concentration steps until convergence)

convTol

relative convergence tolerance for estimates used in (G)S-concentration iteration

maxIt

maximal number of steps in (G)S-concentration iteration

bdp

breakdown point of the MM-estimates; usually equals 0.5

eff

Gaussian efficiency of the MM-estimates; usually set at 0.95

shapeEff

logical; if TRUE, eff is with regard to shape-efficiency, otherwise location-efficiency

convTol.MM

relative convergence tolerance for estimates used in MM-iteration

maxIt.MM

maximal number of steps in MM-iteration

fastScontrols

the tuning parameters of the initial S-estimate

...

allows for any individual parameter from Scontrol to be set directly

Details

The default number of random samples is lower for GS-estimates than for S-estimates, because computations regarding the former are more demanding.
