Calculate Bootstrap Estimates and Confidence Intervals for the Discrete Pareto Distribution
Description
Uses the parametric bootstrap to estimate the bias and confidence interval of the MLE of the Discrete Pareto Distribution.
Usage
bsdp(x, cutoff=1, m=200, np=1, alpha=0.95)
bootstrapdp(x,cutoff=1,cutabove=1000,
m=200,alpha=0.95,guess=3.31,hellinger=FALSE,
mle.meth="adpmle")
Arguments
x |
A vector of counts (one per observation). |
cutoff |
Calculate estimates conditional on exceeding this value. |
m |
Number of bootstrap samples to draw. |
np |
Number of parameters in the model (1 by default). |
alpha |
Type I error for the confidence interval. |
hellinger |
Minimize Hellinger distance of the parametric model from the data instead of maximizing the likelihood. |
cutabove |
Calculate estimates conditional on not exceeding this value. |
guess |
Initial estimate at the MLE. |
mle.meth |
Method to use to compute the MLE. |
Value
dist |
matrix of sample CDFs, one per row. |
obsmle |
The Discrete Pareto MLE of the PDF exponent. |
bsmles |
Vector of bootstrap MLE. |
quantiles |
Quantiles of the bootstrap MLEs. |
pvalue |
p-value of the Anderson-Darling statistics relative to the bootstrap MLEs. |
obsmands |
Observed Anderson-Darling Statistic. |
meanmles |
Mean of the bootstrap MLEs. |
guess |
Initial estimate at the MLE. |
mle.meth |
Method to use to compute the MLE. |

Examples
## Not run:
# Now, simulate a Discrete Pareto distribution over 100
# observations with expected count 1 and probability of another
# of 0.2
set.seed(1)
s4 <- simdp(n=100, v=3.31)
table(s4)
#
# Calculate the MLE and an asymptotic confidence
# interval for the parameter.
#
s4est <- adpmle(s4)
s4est
#
# Use the bootstrap to compute a confidence interval rather than using the
# asymptotic confidence interval for the parameter.
