vargaugeiis {gets}

Variance of the Impulse Indicator Saturation Gauge

Description

Computes the variance of the gauge (false-positive rate of outliers under the null of no outliers) in impulse indicator saturation based on Jiao and Pretis (2019).

Usage

  vargaugeiis(t.pval, T, infty=FALSE, m=1)
  

Arguments

t.pval

numeric, between 0 and 1. Selection p-value used in indicator saturation.

T

integer, sample sized used in indicator saturation.

m

integer, number of iterations in variance computation, default=1

infty

logical, argument used for variance computation

Details

The function computes the variance of the Gauge (false-positive rate of outliers in impulse indicator saturation) for a given level of significance of selection (t.pval) and sample size (T) based on Jiao and Pretis (2019). This is an auxilliary function used within the outliertest function.

Value

Returns a dataframe of the variance and standard deviation of the gauge, as well the asymptotic variance and standard deviation.
