ddst.umbrellaknownp.test: Data Driven Smooth Test for Umbrella Alternatives; Known Peak

Description

Performs data driven smooth test for so-called umbrella alternatives in k-sample problem. Suppose that we have random samples from k distributions F_i where i = 1, ..., k. The null hypothesis is that there is no umbrella pattern, i.e. F_1 >= ... >= F_p <= ... <= F_k and F_i != F_j for some i and j. The alternative is that there is an umbrella pattern i.e. F_1 >= ... >= F_p <= ... <= F_k and F_i != F_j for some i and j. Detailed description of the test statistic is provided in Wylupek (2016).

Usage

ddst.umbrellaknownp.test(
  x,
  p,
  r.N = rep(4, length(x) - 1),
  alpha = 0.05,
  t.p,
  t.n,
  nr = 1e+05,
  compute.cv = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

a list of k (non-empty) numeric vectors of data

p

a peak of the umbrella pattern

r.N

a (p(p-1)=2+(k-p)(k-p+1)/2)-dimensional vector specifying the levels of complexity of the grids considered, only for advanced users

alpha

a significance level

t.p

an alpha-dependent (p(p-1)=2+(k-p)(k-p+1)/2)-dimensional vector of the tunning parameters in the penalties in the model selection rules T.o

t.n

an alpha-dependent (k-1)-dimensional vector of the tunning parameters in the penalties in the model selection rules T.tilde

nr

an integer specifying the number of runs for a p-value and a critical value computation if any

compute.cv

a logical value indicating whether to compute a critical value corresponding to the significance level alpha or not
