Calculate MM Deming Regression

Description

Calculate MM Deming regression with iterative algorithm inspired on the work of Linnet. The algorithm uses bisquare redescending weights. For maximal stability and convergence the euclidean residuals are scaled in each iteration with a fresh calculated MAD instead of keeping the same MAD (assessed at the starting step) for the whole iteration. This algorithm is available only for positive values. But even in this case there is no guarantee that the algorithm always converges.

Usage

mc.mmPidemingConstCV(
  X,
  Y,
  error.ratio,
  iter.max = 30,
  threshold = 1e-06,
  priorSlope = 1,
  priorIntercept = 0,
  tauMM = 4.685,
  kM = 1.345
)

Arguments

X

measurement values of reference method.

Y

threshold

threshold value.

priorSlope

starting slope value, default priorSlope = 1

priorIntercept

starting intercept value, default priorIntercept = 0

tauMM

Tukey's tau for bisquare redescending weighting function, default tauMM = 4,685

kM

Value

a list with elements

b0
