Package 'cvmdisc'

Title: Cramer von Mises Tests for Discrete or Grouped Distributions
Description: Implements Cramer-von Mises Statistics for testing fit to (1) fully specified discrete distributions as described in Choulakian, Lockhart and Stephens (1994) <doi:10.2307/3315828> (2) discrete distributions with unknown parameters that must be estimated from the sample data, see Spinelli & Stephens (1997) <doi:10.2307/3315735> and Lockhart, Spinelli and Stephens (2007) <doi:10.1002/cjs.5550350111> (3) grouped continuous distributions with Unknown Parameters, see Spinelli (2001) <doi:10.2307/3316040>. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is used to estimate the parameters. The package computes the Cramer-von Mises Statistics, Anderson-Darling Statistics and the Watson-Stephens Statistics and their p-values.

Fit Grouped Data

Description

cvmdisc is a package for fitting data to binomial, poisson, and grouped continuous distributions as well as testing their Goodness of Fit using Cramer-von-Mises and Anderson-Darling statistics

Details

The cvmdisc package includes a function that fits and tests grouped/discrete data to multiple distributions, as well as multiple auxillary functions called by the main function.

Distributions

The Binomial, Poisson, Exponential, Gamma, Log-normal, Normal, Uniform and Weibull distributions are currently supported in the cvmdisc package.

counts <- c(21, 9, 5, 2, 1, 1, 0)

(mle1 <- distrFit(breaks, counts, distr = "exp"))

#fitting generated data with initial values

breaks <- seq(0, 40, 2)
counts <- table(cut(rweibull(200, 0.5, 3), breaks))

(mle2 <- distrFit(breaks, counts, distr = "weibull", initials = c(0.5, 3)))

#fitting generated data to a different distribution

breaks <- seq(-100, 100, 5)
counts <- table(cut(rcauchy(500, -20, 10), breaks))

(mle3 <- distrFit(breaks, counts, distr = "norm"))

groupFit

Description

Fits grouped continuous data or discrete data to a distribution and computes Cramer-Von Mises Goodness of Fit statistics and p-values.

Usage

groupFit(breaks, counts, data, discrete, distr, N, params, initials,
  pfixed, bootstrap = FALSE, numLoops = 5000, known = FALSE,
  pave = FALSE, imhof = TRUE)

Arguments

breaks

Vector defining the breaks in each group.

counts

Vector containing the frequency of counts in each group.

data

Vector containing values of discrete random variables.

discrete

Logical. Is the distribution discrete?

distr

Character; the name of the distribution users want to fit the data to.

Included continuous distributions are: "exp", "gamma", "lnorm", "norm", "unif" and "weibull".

Included discrete distributions are: "binom" and "pois".

User defined distributions are supported as "user".

Short-hand or full spelling of these distributions will be recognized, case insensitive.

N

Number of trials, used only for the binomial distribution.

params

Vector of distribution parameters. This is only required when known == TRUE. groupFit will estimate the parameters if known == FALSE.

initials

Vector of distribution parameters to use as starting points for calculating MLEs.

pfixed

Vector of known probabilities for corresponding counts vector. pfixed must be provided when distr = "user".

bootstrap

Logical. Should p-values be calculated via bootstrapping?

numLoops

Number of Bootstrap iterations. Set to be 5000 by default.

known

Logical. Set to be TRUE if the parameters are known and do not need to be estimated.

pave

Logical. Set to be FALSE if the probabilities in groups are used; set to TRUE if the average of probabilities of groups j and j + 1 are used. See page 2 of Spinelli (2001) for more details.

imhof

Logical. Set to be TRUE if Imhof's method from the package "CompQuadForm" is used to approximate the null distributions.

Details

For grouped continuous data: call groupFit with arguments breaks, counts, and distr to fit the data.

For discrete data call groupFit with data and distr to fit the data. If distr = "binom", then be sure to call groupFit with N as well.

Provide initials to suggest starting points for parameter estimation.

Provide params and set known = TRUE to test goodness of fit when parameters are known.

Set bootstrap = TRUE to use bootstrapping to estimate p-values rather than using asymptotic distributions.

Set imhof = FALSE when a+bXp2a+bX^2_p is used to approximate the null distributions. See page 5 of Spinelli (2001) for details.

groupFit can test the fit of user defined discrete distributions. To do so, set distr to "user", and provide the vector pfixed, where each cell contains the probability corresponding to that same cell in counts.

Value

List containing the components:

estimates

The estimated parameters of the distribution

stats

Data frame containing the goodness of fit statistics

pvals

Data frame containing p-values for the goodness of fit statistics
