numEff: Compute Numerical Standard Error and Relative Numerical Efficiency

Description

numEff computes the numerical standard error for the mean of a vector of draws as well as the relative numerical efficiency (ratio of variance of mean of this time series process relative to iid sequence).

Usage

numEff(x, m = as.integer(min(length(x), (100/sqrt(5000)) * sqrt(length(x)))))

Arguments

x

R x 1 vector of draws

m

number of lags for autocorrelations

Value

stderr

standard error of the mean of x

f

variance ratio (relative numerical efficiency)

Warning

This routine is a utility routine that does not check the input arguments for proper dimensions and type.

Details

default for number of lags is chosen so that if R = 5000, m =100 and increases as the sqrt(R).
