randtest {ade4} | R Documentation |
Class of the Permutation Tests (in C).
Description
randtest
is a generic function. It proposes methods for the following objects between
, discrimin
, coinertia
...
Usage
randtest(xtest, ...)
as.randtest(sim, obs, alter = c("greater", "less", "two-sided"),
output = c("light", "full"), call = match.call(), subclass = NULL)
## S3 method for class 'randtest'
plot(x, nclass = 10, coeff = 1, ...)
## S3 method for class 'randtest'
print(x, ...)
Arguments
xtest |
an object used to select a method |
x |
an object of class |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods; in |
output |
a character string specifying if all simulations should be stored ( |
nclass |
a number of intervals for the histogram. Ignored if object output is |
coeff |
to fit the magnitude of the graph. Ignored if object output is |
sim |
a numeric vector of simulated values |
obs |
a numeric vector of an observed value |
alter |
a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "greater" (default), "less" or "two-sided" |
call |
a call order |
subclass |
a character vector indicating the subclasses associated to the returned object |
Details
If the alternative hypothesis is "greater", a p-value is estimated as: (number of random values equal to or greater than the observed one + 1)/(number of permutations + 1). The null hypothesis is rejected if the p-value is less than the significance level. If the alternative hypothesis is "less", a p-value is estimated as: (number of random values equal to or less than the observed one + 1)/(number of permutations + 1). Again, the null hypothesis is rejected if the p-value is less than the significance level. Lastly, if the alternative hypothesis is "two-sided", the estimation of the p-value is equivalent to the one used for "greater" except that random and observed values are firstly centered (using the average of random values) and secondly transformed to their absolute values. Note that this is only suitable for symmetric random distribution.
Value
as.randtest
returns a list of class randtest
.
plot.randtest
draws the simulated values histograms and the position of the observed value.
