getFixRobIC: Generic Function for the Computation of Optimally Robust ICs

Description

Generic function for the computation of optimally robust ICs in case of robust models with fixed neighborhoods. This function is rarely called directly.

Usage

getFixRobIC(Distr, risk, neighbor, ...)

# S4 method for Norm,fiUnOvShoot,UncondNeighborhood getFixRobIC(Distr, risk, neighbor, sampleSize, upper, maxiter, tol, warn, Algo, cont)

Arguments

Distr

object of class "Distribution".

risk

object of class "RiskType".

neighbor

object of class "Neighborhood".

additional parameters.

sampleSize

integer: sample size.

upper

upper bound for the optimal clipping bound.

maxiter

the maximum number of iterations.

tol

the desired accuracy (convergence tolerance).

warn

logical: print warnings.

Algo

"A" or "B".

cont

"left" or "right".

Value

The optimally robust IC is computed.

Methods

Distr = "Norm", risk = "fiUnOvShoot", neighbor = "UncondNeighborhood"

computes the optimally robust influence curve for one-dimensional normal location and finite-sample under-/overshoot risk.
