fpc (version 2.2-3)

clusexpect: Expected value of the number of times a fixed point cluster is found

Description

A rough approximation of the expectation of the number of times a well separated fixed point cluster (FPC) of size n is found in ir fixed point iterations of fixreg.

Usage

clusexpect(n, p, cn, ir)

Arguments

n

positive integer. Total number of points.

p

positive integer. Number of independent variables.

cn

positive integer smaller or equal to n. Size of the FPC.

ir

positive integer. Number of fixed point iterations.

Value

A number.

Details

The approximation is based on the assumption that a well separated FPC is found iff all p+2 points of the initial coinfiguration come from the FPC. The value is ir times the probability for this. For a discussion of this assumption cf. Hennig (2002).
