ConvexContamination {distrEx} | R Documentation |
Generic Function for Generating Convex Contaminations
Description
Generic function for generating convex contaminations. This is also
known as gross error model. Given two distributions P
(ideal distribution), R
(contaminating distribution) and the
size \varepsilon\in [0,1]
the convex contaminated distribution
Q = (1-\varepsilon)P + \varepsilon R
is generated.
Usage
ConvexContamination(e1, e2, size)
Arguments
e1 |
object of class |
e2 |
object of class |
size |
size of contamination (amount of gross errors) |
Value
Object of class "Distribution"
.
Methods
- e1 = "UnivariateDistribution", e2 = "UnivariateDistribution", size = "numeric":
-
convex combination of two univariate distributions
- e1 = "AbscontDistribution", e2 = "AbscontDistribution", size = "numeric":
-
convex combination of two absolutely continuous univariate distributions
- e1 = "DiscreteDistribution", e2 = "DiscreteDistribution", size = "numeric":
-
convex combination of two discrete univariate distributions
- e1 = "AcDcLcDistribution", e2 = "AcDcLcDistribution", size = "numeric":
-
convex combination of two univariate distributions which may be coerced to
"UnivarLebDecDistribution"
.
