rflex.sim {smerc} | R Documentation |
Perform rflex.test
on simualated data
Description
rflex.sim
efficiently performs
rflex.test
on a simulated data set. The
function is meant to be used internally by the
rflex.test
function, but is informative for
better understanding the implementation of the test.
Usage
rflex.sim(
nsim = 1,
nn,
w,
ex,
alpha1 = 0.2,
type = "poisson",
pop = NULL,
cl = NULL
)
Arguments
nsim |
A positive integer indicating the number of simulations to perform. |
nn |
A matrix of the k nearest neighbors for the
regions described by |
w |
A binary spatial adjacency matrix for the regions. |
ex |
The expected number of cases for each region. The default is calculated under the constant risk hypothesis. |
alpha1 |
The middle p-value threshold. |
type |
The type of scan statistic to compute. The
default is |
pop |
The population size associated with each region. |
cl |
A cluster object created by |
Value
A vector with the maximum test statistic for each simulated data set.
Examples
data(nydf)
data(nyw)
# determine knn
coords <- with(nydf, cbind(longitude, latitude))
nn <- knn(coords, longlat = TRUE, k = 50)
# determine expected number of cases in each region
cases <- floor(nydf$cases)
pop <- nydf$pop
ex <- pop * sum(cases) / sum(pop)
tsim <- rflex.sim(nsim = 5, nn = nn, w = nyw, ex = ex)
