Package 'NSM3'

Title: Functions and Datasets to Accompany Hollander, Wolfe, and Chicken - Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Third Edition
Description: Designed to replace the tables which were in the back of the first two editions of Hollander and Wolfe - Nonparametric Statistical Methods. Exact procedures are performed when computationally possible. Monte Carlo and Asymptotic procedures are performed otherwise. For those procedures included in the base packages, our code simply provides a wrapper to standardize the output with the other procedures in the package.

Function to compute a critical value for the Ansari-Bradley C distribution.

Description

This function uses pAnsari and qAnsari from the base stats package to compute the critical value for the Ansari-Bradley C distribution at (or typically in the "Exact" case, close to) the given alpha level. The program is reasonably quick for large data, well after the asymptotic approximation suffices, so Monte Carlo methods are not included.

Usage

cAnsBrad(alpha, m, n, method = NA, n.mc = 10000)

Arguments

alpha

A numeric value between 0 and 1.

m

A numeric value indicating the size of the first data group (X).

n

A numeric value indicating the size of the second data group (Y).

method

Either "Exact" or "Asymptotic", indicating the desired distribution. When method=NA, if m+n<=200, the "Exact" method will be used to compute the C distribution. Otherwise, the "Asymptotic" method will be used.

n.mc

Not used. Only included for standardization with other critical value procedures in the NSM3 package.

Value

Returns a list with "NSM3Ch5c" class containing the following components:

m

number of observations in the first data group (X)

n

number of observations in the second data group (Y)

cutoff.U

upper tail cutoff at or below user-specified alpha

true.alpha.U

true alpha level corresponding to cutoff.U (if method="Exact")

cutoff.L

lower tail cutoff at or below user-specified alpha

true.alpha.L

true alpha level corresponding to cutoff.L (if method="Exact")

Usage

cDurSkiMa(alpha,obs.mat, method=NA, n.mc=10000)

Arguments

alpha

A numeric value between 0 and 1.

obs.mat

The incidence matrix, explained below.

method

Either "Exact", "Monte Carlo" or "Asymptotic", indicating the desired distribution. When method=NA, "Exact" will be used if the number of permutations is 10,000 or less. Otherwise, "Monte Carlo" will be used.

n.mc

If method="Monte Carlo", the number of Monte Carlo samples used to estimate the distribution. Otherwise, not used.

Details

The incidence matrix, obs.mat, will be an n x k matrix of ones and zeroes, which indicate where the data are observed and unobserved, respectively. Methods for finding the incidence matrix for various BIBD designs are given in the literature. While the incidence matrix will not be unique for a given (k, n, s, lambda, p) combination, the distribution of D under H0 will be the same.

Value

Returns a list with "NSM3Ch7c" class containing the following components:

k

number of treatments

n

number of blocks

ss

number of treatments per block

pp

cutoff.U

upper tail cutoff at or below user-specified alpha

true.alpha.U

true alpha level corresponding to cutoff.U (if method="Exact" or "Monte Carlo")

Note

The syntax of this procedure differs from the others in the NSM3 package due to the fact that creating a BIBD for a given k,n,s,p,lambda is not trivial. We therefore require obs.mat, the incidence matrix.

Fitting Median-Based Linear Models (from 'mblm' oackage)

Description

This function is used to fit linear models based on Theil-Sen single median, or Siegel repeated medians.

Usage

mblm(formula, dataframe, repeated = TRUE)

Arguments

formula

A formula of type y ~ x (only linear models are accepted)

dataframe

Optional dataframe

repeated

If set to true, model is computed using repeated medians. If false, a single median estimators are calculated

Details

This function is from the 'mblm' package, which is no longer available on CRAN.

Theil-Sen single median method computes slopes of lines crossing all possible pairs of points, when x coordinates differ. After calculating these n(n-1)/2 slopes (these value are true only if x is distinct), the median of them is taken as slope estimator. Next, the intercepts of n lines, crossing each point and having calculated slope are calculated. The median from them is intercept estimator.

Siegel repeated medians is more complicated. For each point, the slopes between it and the others are calcuated (resulting n-1 slopes) and the median is taken. This results in n medians and median from this medians is slope estimator. Intercept is calculated in similar way, for more information please take a look in function source.

The breakdown point of Theil-Sen method is about 29%, Siegel extended it to 50%, so these regression methods are very robust. Additionally, if the errors are normally distributed and no outliers are present, the estimators are very similar to classic least squares.

Value

An object of class c("mblm","lm"), containing minimal set of data to perform basic operations, such as in case of lm model. Additionally, the return value contains 2 fields:

slopes

The slopes (in single median), or medians of slopes (in repeated medians) between tested point pairs

intercepts

The intercepts calculated

Note

This function should have compatibility with all 'lm' methods, but it is not guaranteed that they will work or have any cognitive value (this method is nonparametric). The compatibility was only introduced to use some basic methods from 'lm' without programming new functions.

Function to compute the P-value for the observed Ansari-Bradley C statistic.

Description

When there are no ties in the data, this function uses pansari and cansari from the base stats package to compute the C statistic and P-value ("Exact" or "Asymptotic"). The program is reasonably quick for large data in the absence of ties, well after the asymptotic approximation suffices, so Monte Carlo methods are not included.

When there are ties in the data, this function computes the C statistic and P-value ("Exact", "Monte Carlo", or "Asymptotic").

Usage

pAnsBrad(x,y=NA,g=NA,method=NA,n.mc=10000)

Arguments

x

Either a list or a vector containing either all or the first group of data.

y

If x contains the first group of data, y contains the second group of data. Otherwise, not used.

g

If x contains a vector of all of the data, g is a vector of 1's and 2's corresponding to group labels. Otherwise, not used.

method

Either "Exact", "Monte Carlo" or "Asymptotic", indicating the desired distribution. When method=NA and there are no ties in the data, "Exact" will be used. When method=NA and there are ties in the data, "Exact" will be used if the number of permutations is 10,000 or less. Otherwise, "Monte Carlo" will be used.

n.mc

If method="Monte Carlo", the number of Monte Carlo samples used to estimate the distribution. Otherwise, not used.

Details

The data entry is intended to be flexible, so that the two groups of data can be entered in any of three ways. For data a=1,2 and b=3,4 all of the following are equivalent:

pAnsBrad(x=c(1,2),y=c(3,4)) pAnsBrad(x=list(c(1,2),c(3,4))) pAnsBrad(x=c(1,2,3,4),g=c(1,1,2,2))

Hoeffding's D

Description

Function to approximate the distribution of Hoeffding's D statistic using a Monte Carlo Sample under the null hypothesis. This code follows section 8.6 of Hollander, Wolfe & Chicken, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, 3e. This calls HoeffD, a small bit of code that produces the value of D without any inference. It is intended for small sample sizes n only. For large n, use the asymptotic equivalence of D to the Blum-Kliefer-Rosenblatt statistic in the R package "Hmisc", command "hoeffd".

Usage

pHoeff(n=5, reps=10000, r=4)

Arguments

n

the sample size

reps

the number of Monte Carlo runs to produce

r

the number of digits for rounding the results

Value

Returns a matrix containing the Monte Carlo distribution of the D statistic.
