defineSearchRegions {refineR}

Helper function to define search regions for mu and sigma and to get the region around the main peak 'ab'

Description

The function estimates the start search regions for mu and sigma for each lambda. Further it determines an appropriate region around the main peak 'ab' that is used for all lambdas.

Usage

defineSearchRegions(x, lambdaVec, roundingBase, abEst = NULL)

Arguments

x

(numeric) values specifying data points comprising pathological and non-pathological values

lambdaVec

(numeric) transformation parameter for inverse Box-Cox transformation

roundingBase

(numeric) describing the rounding base of the dataset

abEst

(numeric) vector with already estimated abSearchReg and abHist for second definition of search regions

Value

(list) with (abEst, search region for mu and sigma)
