Hotelling Critical Values
Critical values for uniform confidence bands for rqss fitting
critval(kappa, alpha = 0.05, rdf = 0)
kappa |
length of the tube |
alpha |
desired non-coverage of the band, intended coverage is 1 - alpha |
rdf |
"residual" degrees of freedom of the fitted object. If |
The Hotelling tube approach to inference has a long and illustrious history. See Johansen and Johnstone (1989) for an overview. The implementation here is based on Sun and Loader (1994) and Loader's locfit package, although a simpler root finding approach is substituted for the iterative method used there. At this stage, only univariate bands may be constructed.
A scalar critical value that acts as a multiplier for the uniform confidence band construction.
