distrMod (version 2.9.4)

existsPIC-methods: Methods for Function existsPIC in Package `distrMod'

Description

existsPIC-methods to check whether in a given L2 differentiable model at parameter value theta there exist (partial) influence curves to Trafo \(D_\theta\).

Usage

existsPIC(object, ...)
# S4 method for L2ParamFamily
existsPIC(object, warning = TRUE, tol = .Machine$double.eps^.5)

Arguments

object

L2ParamFamily

...

further arguments used by specific methods.

warning

logical: should a warning be issued if there exist no (partial) influence curves?

tol

the tolerance the linear algebraic operations. Default is .Machine$double.eps^.5.

Details

To check the existence of (partial) influence curves and, simultaneously, for bounded (partial) influence curves, by Lemma 1.1.3 in Kohl(2005) [resp. the fact that \({\rm ker} I={\rm ker} J\) for \(J= {\rm E} (\Lambda',1)' (\Lambda',1) w\) and \(w={\rm min}(1, b/|(\Lambda',1)|\)], it suffices to check that \({\rm ker }I\) is a subset of \({\rm ker }D_\theta\). This is done by a call to isKerAinKerB.
