index_rp: The r_p-index

Description

Given a sequence of \(n\) non-negative numbers \(x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\), where \(x_i \ge x_j\) for \(i \le j\), the \(r_p\)-index for \(p=\infty\) equals to $$r_p(x)=\max_{i=1,\dots,n} \{ \min\{i,x_i\} \}$$ if \(n \ge 1\), or \(r_\infty(x)=0\) otherwise. That is, it is equivalent to a particular OWMax operator, see owmax.

For the definition of the \(r_p\)-index for \(p < \infty\) we refer to (Gagolewski, Grzegorzewski, 2009).

Usage

index_rp(x, p = Inf)
index.rp(x, p = Inf) # same as index_rp(x, p), deprecated alias

Arguments

x

a non-negative numeric vector

p

index order, \(p \in [1,\infty]\); defaults \(\infty\) (Inf).

Value

a single numeric value

Details

Note that if \(x_1,\dots,x_n\) are integers, then $$r_\infty(x)=H(x),$$ where \(H\) is the \(h\)-index (Hirsch, 2005) and $$r_1(x)=W(x),$$ where \(W\) is the \(w\)-index (Woeginger, 2008), see index_h and index_w.

If non-increasingly sorted vector is given, the function is O(n).

For historical reasons, this function is also available via its alias, index.rp [but its usage is deprecated].
