getBiasIC {ROptEst}

Generic function for the computation of the asymptotic bias for an IC

Description

Generic function for the computation of the asymptotic bias for an IC.

Usage

getBiasIC(IC, neighbor, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'HampIC,UncondNeighborhood'
getBiasIC(IC, neighbor, L2Fam, ...)

Arguments

IC

object of class "InfluenceCurve"

neighbor

object of class "Neighborhood".

L2Fam

object of class "L2ParamFamily".

...

additional parameters

Details

This function is rarely called directly. It is used by other functions/methods.

Value

The bias of the IC is computed.

Methods

IC = "HampIC", neighbor = "UncondNeighborhood"

reads off the as. bias from the risks-slot of the IC.

IC = "TotalVarIC", neighbor = "UncondNeighborhood"

reads off the as. bias from the risks-slot of the IC, resp. if this is NULL from the corresponding Lagrange Multipliers.

Note

This generic function is still under construction.
