summary.hmmmchibar {hmmm}

summary for hmmm.chibar

Description

Function to print the results for tests of type A and B (Silvapulle and Sen, 2005) on inequality constraints and to tabulate the chi-bar distribution functions of the statistics test. The generic function ‘summary’ is adapted to the objects inheriting from class hmmmchibar (summary.hmmmchibar).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'hmmmchibar'
summary(object, plotflag = 1, step = 0.01, lsup = 0,...)

Arguments

object

An object of the class hmmmchibar

plotflag

1 to print only pvalues and statistic values, 2 to display the survival functions for type A and type B statistics tests and 3 to provide a plot of the survival functions (red: type B, black: type A)

step

Distance between points at which the distribution functions are evaluated

lsup

Distribution functions are evaluated in the interval 0 - lsup

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

It provides the output of the function ‘hmmm.chibar’, that is the results of testing models defined by ‘hmmm.model’ and estimated by ‘hmmm.mlfit’, with equality and inequality constraints on marginal interactions. The statistics test of type A and B, their pvalues and the chi-bar distribution functions are tabulated. If TESTAB = TRUE when the function ‘hmmm.chibar’ is called, the output of the LR tuned testing procedure (Colombi and Forcina, 2013) is displayed.

Note

Use ‘print’ for a short output.
