ddmvnorm: Normal depth versus depth plot

Description

Produces a normal DD plot of a multivariate dataset.

Usage

ddMvnorm(
  x,
  size = nrow(x),
  robust = FALSE,
  alpha = 0.05,
  title = "ddMvnorm",
  depth_params = list()
)

Arguments

x

The data sample for DD plot.

size

size of theoretical set

robust

Logical. Default FALSE. If TRUE, robust measures are used to specify the parameters of theoretical distribution.

alpha

cutoff point for robust measure of covariance.

title

title of a plot.

depth_params

list of parameters for function depth (method, threads, ndir, la, lb, pdim, mean, cov, exact).

Value

Returns the normal depth versus depth plot of multivariate dataset x.

Details

In the first step the location and scale of x are estimated and theoretical sample from normal distribution with those parameters is generated. The plot presents the depth of empirical points with respect to dataset x and with respect to the theoretical sample.
