d_hat {LPsmooth}

Comparison density estimate

Description

Estimates the comparison density for continuous and discrete data.

Usage

d_hat(data,m=4,g,range=NULL,lattice=NULL,selection=TRUE,criterion="BIC")

Arguments

data

A data vector. See details.

m

If selection = FALSE, it corresponds to the desired size of the polynomial basis to be used. If selection = TRUE, it is the size of the polynomial basis from which the terms to include in the model are selected.

g

Function corresponding to the parametric start. See details.

range

Interval corresponding to the support of the continuous data distribution.

lattice

Support of the discrete data distribution.

selection

A logical argument indicating if model selection should be performed. See details.

criterion

If selection=TRUE, the selection criterion to be used. The two possibilities are "AIC" or "BIC". See details.

Details

The argument data collects the data for which we want to test if its distribution corresponds to the one of the postulated model specified in the argument g. The parametric start is assumed to be fully specified and takes x as the only argument. The value m determines the smoothness of the estimated comparison density, with smaller values of m leading to smoother estimates. If selection=TRUE, the largest coefficient estimates are selected according to either the AIC or BIC criterion as described in Algeri and Zhang, 2020 (see also Ledwina, 1994 and Mukhopadhyay, 2017). The resulting estimator is the one in Gajek's formulation with orthonormal basis corresponding to LP score functions (see Algeri and Zhang, 2020 and Gajek, 1986).

Value

LPj

Estimates of the coefficients.

du

Function corresponding to the estimated comparison density in the u domain corresponding to the probability integral transformation.

dx

Function corresponding to the estimated comparison density in the x domain.

f

Function corresponding to the estimated probability function of the data.
