is.kadditive-methods: Test method

Description

Tests whether a set function is k-additive, i.e., if its Möbius function vanishes for subsets of more than k elements. The set function can be given either under the form of an object of class set.func, card.set.func or Mobius.set.func.

Methods

object = "Mobius.set.func", k = "numeric", epsilon = "numeric", epsilon = "numeric"

Returns an object of class logical.

object = "card.set.func", k = "numeric", epsilon = "numeric"

Returns an object of class logical.

object = "set.func", k = "numeric", epsilon = "numeric"

Returns an object of class logical.

Details

In order to test whether a coefficient is equal to zero, its absolute value is compared with epsilon whose default value is 1e-9.
