scb.equal {SCBmeanfd} | R Documentation |
Compare Two Mean Functions
Description
This two-sample test builds simultaneous confidence bands (SCB) for the difference between two population mean functions and retains the equality assumption if the null function is contained in the bands. Equivalently, SCB are built around one of the local linear estimates (the one for say, population 1), and the equality hypothesis is accepted if the other estimate (the one for population 2) lies within the bands.
Usage
scb.equal(x, y, bandwidth, level = .05, degree = 1,
scbtype = c("normal","bootstrap","both","no"), gridsize = NULL,
keep.y = TRUE, nrep = 2e4, nboot = 1e4, parallel = c("no","multicore","snow"),
ncpus = getOption("boot.ncpus",1L), cl = NULL)
Arguments
x |
a list of length 2 or matrix with 2 columns containing the x values of each sample. If the two samples are observed on the same grid, |
y |
a list of length 2 containing matrices or data frames with functional observations (= curves) stored in rows. The number of columns of each component of |
bandwidth |
the kernel bandwidths (numeric vector of length 1 or 2). |
level |
the significance level of the test (default = .05). |
degree |
the degree of the local polynomial fit. |
scbtype |
the type of simultaneous confidence bands to build: "normal", "bootstrap", "both", or "no". |
gridsize |
the size of the grid over which the mean function is to be estimated. Defaults to the length of the smallest |
keep.y |
logical; if |
nrep |
the number of replicates for the normal SCB method (default = 20,000). |
nboot |
the number of replicates for the bootstrap SCB method (default = 5,000). |
parallel |
the computation method for the bootstrap SCB. By default, computations are sequential ( |
ncpus |
the number of cores to use for parallel computing if |
cl |
the name of the cluster to use for parallel computing if |
Value
A list object of class "SCBand"
. Depending on the function used to create the object (scb.mean
, scb.model
, or scb.equal
), some of its components are set to NULL
. For scb.mean
, the object has components:
x |
the argument |
y |
if |
call |
the function call. |
model |
|
par |
|
nonpar |
a list of two local linear estimates, one for each population. |
bandwidth |
the argument |
degree |
the degree of local polynomial used. Currently, only local linear estimation is supported. |
level |
the argument |
scbtype |
the argument |
teststat |
the test statistic. |
pnorm |
the p value for the normal-based statistical test. |
pboot |
the p value for the boostrap-based statistical test. |
qnorm |
the quantile used to build the normal SCB. |
qboot |
the quantile used to build the bootstrap SCB. |
normscb |
a matrix containing the normal SCB stored in columns. |
bootscb |
a matrix containing the bootstrap SCB stored in columns. |
gridsize |
the argument |
nrep |
the argument |
nboot |
the argument |
Depending on the value of scbtype
, some or all of
the fields pnorm
, qnorm
, normscb
, nrep
, pboot
, qboot
, normboot
and nboot
may be NULL
.
