mscale_derivative: Compute the Gradient and Hessian of the M-Scale Function

Description

Compute the derivative (gradient) or the Hessian of the M-scale function evaluated at the point x.

Compute the maximum derivative of the M-scale function with respect to each element over a grid of values.

Compute the maximum element in the gradient and Hessian of the M-scale function with respect to each element over a grid of values.

Usage

mscale_derivative(
  x,
  bdp = 0.25,
  order = 1,
  cc = consistency_const(bdp, "bisquare"),
  opts = mscale_algorithm_options()
)
max_mscale_derivative(
  x,
  grid,
  n_change,
  bdp = 0.25,
  cc = consistency_const(bdp, "bisquare"),
  opts = mscale_algorithm_options()
)
max_mscale_grad_hess(
  x,
  grid,
  n_change,
  bdp = 0.25,
  cc = consistency_const(bdp, "bisquare"),
  opts = mscale_algorithm_options()
)

Value

a vector of derivatives of the M-scale function, one per element in x.

a vector with 4 elements:

the maximum absolute value of the gradient,
the maximum absolute value of the Hessian elements,
the M-scale associated with 1., and
the M-scale associated with 2.

the maximum absolute derivative over the entire grid.

Arguments

x: numeric values. Missing values are verbosely ignored.
bdp: desired breakdown point (between 0 and 0.5).
order: compute the gradient (order=1) or the gradient and the Hessian (order=2).
cc: cutoff value for the bisquare rho function. By default, chosen to yield a consistent estimate for the Normal distribution.
opts: a list of options for the M-scale estimation algorithm, see mscale_algorithm_options() for details.
grid: a grid of values to replace the first 1 - n_change elements in x.
n_change: the number of elements in x to replace with each value in grid.

Functions

max_mscale_derivative(): maximum of the gradient
max_mscale_grad_hess(): maximum of the gradient and hessian
