best_distribution: Distribution with Best Error Intervals

Description

best_distribution computes the distribution assumption that gives error intervals with the lower accuracy error for a given set of residuals.

Usage

best_distribution(phi, errors, dists = c("n", "nm", "l", "lm", "w", "b", "moge"), ...)

Arguments

phi

residual values used to compute the error interval.

errors

set of real errors corresponding to the predictions of a particular model.

dists

character vector with the distribution assumptions to test. See also 'Details'.

...

additional arguments to be passed to functions error_interval and acc_intervals.

Value

Returns an object of class c("df_intervals", "data.frame") with information of the distribution assumption with lower accuracy error.

Details

Allowed distribution assumptions are:

• "n": Zero-mu Gaussian
• "nm": General Gaussian
• "l": Zero-mu Laplace
• "lm": General Laplace
• "b": Beta
• "w": Weibull
• "moge": Moge
