exp_c_opt {hytest}

Critical Value Given a Nominal Error Type I Associated with a Exponential Distribution

Description

exp_c_opt is used to obtain a critical value to achieve a nominal error type I when we use a random sample from a Exponential distribution.

Usage

exp_c_opt(
  alpha = 0.1,
  n = 100,
  theta0 = 1,
  c1 = 0.001,
  c2 = 0.99,
  R = 15000,
  delta = 0.005,
  tolerance = 0.01,
  max_iter = 100
)

Arguments

alpha

numeric, represents a nominal error type I. Default value is 0.1.

n

numeric, represents the size of the sample. Default value is 100.

theta0

numeric, represents the location parameter under the null hypothesis of a sample from a Exponential distribution. Default value is 0.5.

c1

numeric, represents a lower bound to the critical value. Default value is 1e-03.

c2

numeric, represents an upper bound to the critical value. Default value is 0.99.

R

numeric, represents the number of replicates. Default value is 15000.

delta

numeric, represents a precision parameter. Default value is 0.005.

tolerance

numeric, represents a relative precision with respect a given alpha. Default value is 0.01.

max_iter

integer, represents the maximum number of iterations. Default value is 100.

Value

A list with number of replicates, sample size, nominal error type I, and empirical critical value obtained associated with a likelihood ratio statistic.

# Critical value when we use a random sample of size 200 from a Exponential distribution
# given a nominal error type I equals to 0.1 and R = 15000
# to test H_0: theta = 2 vs H_1: theta != 2
