NNS (version 0.8.5)

NNS.copula: NNS Co-Partial Moments Higher Dimension Dependence

Description

Determines higher dimension dependence coefficients based on co-partial moment matrices ratios.

Usage

NNS.copula(X, continuous = TRUE, plot = FALSE, independence.overlay = FALSE)

Arguments

X

a numeric matrix or data frame.

continuous

logical; TRUE (default) Generates a continuous measure using degree 1 PM.matrix, while discrete FALSE uses degree 0 PM.matrix.

plot

logical; FALSE (default) Generates a 3d scatter plot with regression points using plot3d.

independence.overlay

logical; FALSE (default) Creates and overlays independent Co.LPM and Co.UPM regions to visually reference the difference in dependence from the data.frame of variables being analyzed. Under independence, the light green and red shaded areas would be occupied by green and red data points respectively.

Value

Returns a multivariate dependence value [0,1].
