leastFavorableRadius: Generic Function for the Computation of Least Favorable Radii

Description

Generic function for the computation of least favorable radii.

Usage

leastFavorableRadius(L2Fam, neighbor, risk, ...)

# S4 method for L2ParamFamily,UncondNeighborhood,asGRisk leastFavorableRadius(L2Fam, neighbor, risk, rho, upRad = 1, z.start = NULL, A.start = NULL, upper = 100, maxiter = 100, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.4, warn = FALSE)

Arguments

L2Fam

L2-differentiable family of probability measures.

neighbor

object of class "Neighborhood".

risk

object of class "RiskType".

additional parameters

upRad

the upper end point of the radius interval to be searched.

rho

The considered radius interval is: \([r \rho, r/\rho]\) with \(\rho\in(0,1)\).

z.start

initial value for the centering constant.

A.start

initial value for the standardizing matrix.

upper

upper bound for the optimal clipping bound.

maxiter

the maximum number of iterations

tol

the desired accuracy (convergence tolerance).

warn

logical: print warnings.

Value

The least favorable radius and the corresponding inefficiency are computed.

Methods

L2Fam = "L2ParamFamily", neighbor = "UncondNeighborhood", risk = "asGRisk"

computation of the least favorable radius.
