EMMAgeo (version 0.9.7)

test.l: Test a vector of weight transformation limits for mximum value.

Description

This function performs the weight transformation of the data matrix after Klovan & Imbrie (1971) and performs EMMA() with different weight limits to check if valied results are yielded. It returns the maximum value for which the transformation remains stable.

Usage

test.l(X, l, ...)

Arguments

X

Numeric matrix, input data set with m samples (rows) and n variables (columns).

l

Numeric vector, weight transformation limit, i.e. quantile; default is 0.

…

Further arguments passed to the function.

Value

List with objects

step

Numeric scalar with position of the last valid value.

l.max

Numeric scalar with last valid value of l.
