The function sets up a 1 sample one-sided decision function with an arbitrary number of conditions which have all to be met.
oc1Sdecision(pc = 0.975, qc = 0, lower.tail = TRUE)
vector of critical cumulative probabilities of the difference distribution.
vector of respective critical values of the difference
distribution. Must match the length of pc
.
logical value selecting if the threshold is a lower or upper bound.
The function creates a one-sided decision function which
takes two arguments. The first argument is expected to be a mixture
(posterior) distribution. This distribution is tested whether it
fulfills all the required threshold conditions specified with the
pc
and qc
arguments and returns 1 of all conditions
are met and 0 otherwise. Hence, for lower.tail=TRUE
condition \(i\) is equivalent to
$$P(x \leq q_{c,i}) > p_{c,i}$$
and the decision function is implemented as indicator function on the basis of the heavy-side step function \(H\) which is \(0\) for \(x \leq 0\) and \(1\) for \(x > 0\). As all conditions must be met, the final indicator function returns
$$\Pi_i H_i(P(x \leq q_{c,i}) - p_{c,i} ).$$
When the second argument is set to TRUE
a distance metric is
returned component wise as
$$ D_i = \log(P(p < q_{c,i})) - \log(p_{c,i}) .$$
These indicator functions can be used as input for 1-sample OC
calculations using oc1S
