R: Confidence Region for the Changepoint

cr	R Documentation

Confidence Region for the Changepoint

Description

Joint confidence region for ( theta, alpha ), the changepoint's (x,y)-coordinates.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Cpp_Clmbr'
cr(  CL =0.95 ,  method ="CLR",  incr,  output ="G"  )

Arguments

`CL`	confidence level, between 0 and 1.
`method`	"CLR" or "AF" which stand for conditional likelihood-ratio or approximate-F (rapid), see `sl` for details.
`incr`	increment of theta values for the confidence region's boundary-points.
`output`	"G", "T" or "V" which stand for graph, text or value.

Details

This subroutine scans to determine the postulate values of (theta, alpha) that have significance level greater than 1-CL. It scans first along the (theta, alpha-MLE) ridge to determine the 'theta' boundary limits.

Value

If 'output' is "G" or "T" then 'cr' graphs or prints-out the confidence region but does not return a value. If 'output' is "V" then 'cr' returns an N x 3 matrix of boundary points ( theta, min-alpha, max-alpha ).

Examples

#  A quick example
y <- c( 2, 0, 2.001, 4, 6 )
x <- 1:5
t <- lm.br( y ~ x )
t $ cr()
t$cr( .9, 'af', incr = 0.1, out='t' )
