pk: Probability of k items selected from the class with size \(n_1\)

Description

Returns the ratio \(n_1(n_1-1) \cdots (n_1-(k-1))/(n(n-1) \cdots (n-(k-1))\), which is the probability that the k selected objects are from class 1 with size \(n_1\) (denoted as n1 as an argument) and the total data size is n. This probability is valid under RL or CSR.

This function computes the \(p_k\) value which is required in the computation of the variance of Cuzick and Edwards \(T_k\) test. \(p_k\) is defined as the ratio \(n_1(n_1-1)\cdots (n_1-(k-1))/(n(n-1)\cdots (n-(k-1))\).

The argument, \(n_1\), is the number of cases (denoted as n1 as an argument). The number of cases are denoted as \(n_1\) and number of controls as \(n_0\) in this function to match the case-control class labeling, which is just the reverse of the labeling in cuzick:1990;textualnnspat.

See (cuzick:1990;textualnnspat) for more details.

Usage

pk(n, n1, k)

pk(n, n1, k)

Value

Returns the probability of k items selected from n items are from the class of interest (i.e., from the class whose size is \(n_1\))

Returns the \(p_k\) value. See the description.

Arguments

n

A positive integer representing the number of points in the data set

n1

Number of cases

k

Integer specifying the number of NNs (of subject \(i\))
