PM.matrix: Partial Moment Matrix

Description

This function generates a co-partial moment matrix for the specified co-partial moment.

Usage

PM.matrix(LPM_degree, UPM_degree, target, variable, pop_adj)

Value

Matrix of partial moment quadrant values (CUPM, DUPM, DLPM, CLPM), and overall covariance matrix. Uncalled quadrants will return a matrix of zeros.

Arguments

LPM_degree

integer; Degree for variable below target deviations. (LPM_degree = 0) is frequency, (LPM_degree = 1) is area.

UPM_degree

integer; Degree for variable above target deviations. (UPM_degree = 0) is frequency, (UPM_degree = 1) is area.

target

numeric; Typically the mean of Variable X for classical statistics equivalences, but does not have to be. (Vectorized) (target = NULL) (default) will set the target as the mean of every variable.

variable

a numeric matrix or data.frame.

pop_adj

logical; TRUE Adjusts the population co-partial moment matrices for sample statistics, which is default in base R. Use FALSE for degree 0 frequency matrices. Must be provided by user.

Examples

set.seed(123)
x <- rnorm(100) ; y <- rnorm(100) ; z <- rnorm(100)
A <- cbind(x,y,z)
PM.matrix(LPM_degree = 1, UPM_degree = 1, variable = A, target = colMeans(A), pop_adj = TRUE)

## Use of vectorized numeric targets (target_x, target_y, target_z)
PM.matrix(LPM_degree = 1, UPM_degree = 1, target = c(0, 0.15, .25), variable = A, pop_adj = TRUE)

## Calling Individual Partial Moment Quadrants
cov.mtx <- PM.matrix(LPM_degree = 1, UPM_degree = 1, variable = A, target = colMeans(A), 
                     pop_adj = TRUE)
