validation.ord {PoisBinOrd}

Validates the marginal specification of the ordinal variables

Description

Checks whether the marginal specification of the ordinal part is valid and consistent.

Usage

validation.ord(n.O, prop.list = NULL)

Arguments

n.O

Number of ordinal variables.

prop.list

A list of probability vectors corresponding to each ordinal variable. The i-th element of prop.list is a vector of the cumulative probabilities defining the marginal distribution of the i-th ordinal component of the multivariate variables. If the i-th ordinal variable has k categories, the i-th vector of the prop.list will contain k-1 probability values. The k-th element is implicitly 1.

Value

The function returns TRUE if no specification problem is encountered. Otherwise, it returns an error message.

Examples

n.O<-3
prop.list<-list(c(0.3,0.6),c(0.25,0.5,0.75),c(0.1,0.2,0.8,0.9))
validation.ord(n.O,prop.list)
