dmrl.mc: Hollander-Proschan

Description

Function to compute the Monte Carlo or asymptotic P-value for the observed Hollander-Proschan V' statistic.

Usage

dmrl.mc(x, alternative = "two.sided", exact=FALSE,
        min.reps = 100, max.reps = 1000, delta = 10^-3)

Value

The function returns a list with two elements:

V

the value of the dmrl statistic

p

the corresponding probability

Arguments

x

a vector of data of length n

alternative

the direction of the alternative hypothesis. The choices are two.sided, dmrl, and imrl with the default value being two.sided.

exact

TRUE/FALSE value that determines whether the exact test or the large sample approximation is used if n >= 9. If n < 9 the exact test is used. The default value is FALSE, so the large sample approximation will be used unless specified not to. This is the same large sample approximation as epstein()

min.reps

the minimum number of repetitions for the Monte Carlo Approximation

max.reps

the maximum number of reps for the Monte Carlo Approximation. If the maximum number of reps has been reached, and the probability has not converged, a warning is given.

delta

the measure of accuracy for the convergence. If the probability converges to within delta, the Monte Carlo procedure stops before reaching the maximum number of reps.
