lmrob..D..fit

Compute Design Adaptive Scale estimate

Description

This function calculates a Design Adaptive Scale estimate for a given MM-estimate. This is supposed to be a part of a chain of estimates like SMD or SMDM.

Usage

lmrob..D..fit(obj, x=obj$x, control = obj$control,
              mf = obj$model, method = obj$control$method)

Arguments

`obj`	`lmrob`-object based on which the estimate is to be calculated.
`x`	the design matrix; if `missing`, the method tries to get it from `obj$x` and if this fails from `obj$model`.
`control`	list of control parameters, as returned by `lmrob.control`.
`mf`	unused and deprecated.
`method`	optional; the `method` used for obj computation.

Details

This function is used by lmrob.fit and typically not to be used on its own. Note that lmrob.fit() specifies control potentially differently than the default, but does use the default for method.

Value

The given lmrob-object with the following elements updated:

`scale`	The Design Adaptive Scale estimate
`converged`	`TRUE` if the scale calculation converged, `FALSE` other.

Examples

data(stackloss)
## Compute manual SMD-estimate:
## 1) MM-estimate
m1 <- lmrob(stack.loss ~ ., data = stackloss)
## 2) Add Design Adaptive Scale estimate
m2 <- lmrob..D..fit(m1)
print(c(m1$scale, m2$scale))

summary(m1)
summary(m2) ## the covariance matrix estimate is also updated
