Arguments

obs

bivariate numeric dataset.

simu.nb

a numeric for the sample size of simulated data.

simu.marg

a character string for the marginal distribution: either "ufrechet" (default) or "upareto".

simu.cop

a character string ofr the copula: either "indep" (default), "FGM" or "Frank".

simu.cop.par

a numeric for the copula parameter, default to NULL.

contamin.eps

a numeric for the percentage (of simu.nb) of contaminated data.

contamin.method

a character string for the contamination method: either "NA" (default), "max+" or "+".

contamin.marg

a character string for the marginal distribution: either "ufrechet" (default) or "upareto".

contamin.cop

a character string ofr the copula: either "indep" (default), "FGM" or "Frank".

contamin.cop.par

a numeric for the copula parameter, default to NULL.

control

A list of control paremeters. Unused.

x, object

an R object inheriting from "dataRTDE".

...

arguments to be passed to subsequent methods.

which

an integer (1 or 2) to specify whether to plot in original scale or unit-Pareto scale, respectively.

Details

The function dataRTDE handles empirical or simulated data and may add a contamination.

Empirical data: When obs is provided, dataRTDE just wraps the two-column matrix $(X_i, Y_i)_i$ .
Simulated data: When simu.XXX are provided, dataRTDE simulates random vectors $(X_i, Y_i)_i$ from the copula simu.cop with parameter simu.cop.par and marginal simu.marg.

Note that end-user must choose between empirical data (obs is provided) and simulated data (simu.XXX are provided). Not both can be provided. In addition to data handling $(X_i, Y_i)_i$ , a contamination can be processed by adding new simulated points $(\tilde X_i, \tilde Y_i)_i$ when contamin.method != "NA". Those points $(\tilde X_i, \tilde Y_i)_i$ are simulated from the copula contamin.cop with parameter contamin.cop.par and marginal contamin.cop.par. If contamin.method != "+", the points $(\tilde X_i, \tilde Y_i)_i$ are the contaminations, while if contamin.method != "max+" the contaminations are obtained by adding the component-wise maximum of the data: $(\tilde X_i + X_{n,n}, \tilde Y_i)_i + Y_{n,n}$ , where $X_{n,n}=max(X_1,...,X_n)$ , idem for $Y_{n,n}$ .

Value

dataRTDE returns an object of class "dataRTDE" having the following components:

n: rownumber of data.
n0: rownumber of contamin.
data: original or simulated data.
contamin: contaminated data.

The Extended Pareto Distribution

Description

Density function, distribution function, quantile function, random generation.

Usage

dEPD(x, eta, delta, rho, tau, log = FALSE)
pEPD(q, eta, delta, rho, tau, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qEPD(p, eta, delta, rho, tau, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE,
    control=list())
rEPD(n, eta, delta, rho, tau)    
dEPD(x, eta, delta, rho, tau, log = FALSE)
pEPD(q, eta, delta, rho, tau, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qEPD(p, eta, delta, rho, tau, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE,
    control=list())
rEPD(n, eta, delta, rho, tau)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

eta

first shape parameter.

delta

nuisance parameter.

rho, tau

second shape parameter.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are $P[X \le x]$ , otherwise, $P[X > x]$ .

control

A list of control paremeters. See section Details.

Details

The extended Pareto distribution is defined by the following density

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\eta} x^{-1/\eta-1}[1+\delta(1-x^{-\tau})]^{-1/\eta-1}[1+\delta(1-(1-\tau)x^{-\tau})]$

for all $x>1$ when parametrized by $\tau$ . However, a typical parametrization is obtained by setting $\tau=-\rho/\eta$ , i.e.

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\eta} x^{-1/\eta-1}[1+\delta(1-x^{\rho/\eta})]^{-1/\eta-1}[1+\delta(1-(1+\rho/\eta)x^{\rho/\eta})]$

for all $x>1$ when parametrized by $\rho$ .

The control argument is a list that can supply any of the following components:

upperbound: The upperbound used in the optimize function when computing numerical quantiles, default to 1e6.
tol: the desired accuracy used in the optimize function when computing numerical quantiles, default to 1e-9.

Value

dEPD gives the density, pEPD gives the distribution function, qEPD gives the quantile function, and rEPD generates random deviates.

The length of the result is determined by n for rEPD, and is the maximum of the lengths of the numerical parameters for the other functions.

The numerical parameters other than n are recycled to the length of the result. Only the first elements of the logical parameters are used.

Details

The function fitRTDE fits an extended Pareto distribution ( $\eta,\tau$ are fitted while $\rho$ is fixed) on the relative excess of $Z_\omega$ (see zvalueRTDE) using a robust estimator based on the minimum distance power divergence criterion (see MDPD). The boundary enforcement on $\eta,\tau$ is either done by the bounded BFGS algorithm (see optim with method="L-BFGS-B") or by the bounded Nelder-Mead algorithm (see constrOptim with method="Nelder-Mead") .

Value

fitRTDE returns an object of class "fitRTDE" having the following components:

n: rownumber of data.
n0: rownumber of contamin.
alpha: a vector of alpha parameters.
omega: a vector of omega parameters.
m: a vector of nbpoint.
rho: a numeric for rho.
eta: estimate of $eta$ .
delta: estimate of $delta$ .
Ztilde: see zvalueRTDE.

The Minimum Distance Power Divergence statistics

Description

Computes the power divergence statistics then used a minimization problem.

Usage

MDPD(theta, densfun, obs, alpha, ..., control=list())

MDPD(theta, densfun, obs, alpha, ..., control=list())

Arguments

theta

the parameter of the distribution given as a vector.

densfun

a function computing the theoretical density function.

obs

a numeric vector of observations

alpha

a numeric for the power divergence parameter.

...

further arguments to be passed to the density function.

control

A list of control paremeters. See section Details.

Details

The Power Divergence for a density function $f$ and observations $X_1,...,X_n$ is defined as

$\Delta(f,\alpha) = \int_{R} f^{1+\alpha}(x)dx-\left ( 1+\frac{1}{\alpha} \right ) \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n f^\alpha(X_i)$

for $\alpha> 0$

$\Delta(f,0) = -\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \log f(X_i)$

for $\alpha = 0$ .

The control argument is a list that can supply any of the following components:

eps: a small positive floating-point number used when integrate stalled, default to 1e-3.
tol: the desired accuracy used in the integrate function when computing the power divergence, default to 1e-3.
lower: the lower bound of the domain of the density function, default to 1.
upper: the lower bound of the domain of the density function, default to infinity.

Value

MDPD returns the power divergence against the density function densfun as a numeric.

The unit Pareto Distribution

Description

Density function, distribution function, quantile function, random generation.

Usage

dupareto(x, log = FALSE)
pupareto(q, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qupareto(p, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rupareto(n)
dupareto(x, log = FALSE)
pupareto(q, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qupareto(p, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rupareto(n)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are $P[X \le x]$ , otherwise, $P[X > x]$ .

Details

The extended Pareto distribution is defined by the following density and distribution function

$f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2}, F(x) = 1-\frac{1}{x},$

for all $x>0$ .

Value

dupareto gives the density, pupareto gives the distribution function, qupareto gives the quantile function, and rupareto generates random deviates.

The length of the result is determined by n for rupareto, and is the maximum of the lengths of the numerical parameters for the other functions.

The numerical parameters other than n are recycled to the length of the result. Only the first elements of the logical parameters are used.

relexcess(x, nbpoint, ...)
## Default S3 method:
relexcess(x, nbpoint, ...)
## S3 method for class 'zvalueRTDE'
relexcess(x, nbpoint, ...)

Arguments

obs

bivariate numeric dataset.

omega

a numeric for omega, see Details.

nbpoint

a numeric for the number of largest points to be selected.

output

a character string for the output: either "orig" for original value or "relexcess" for relative excess.

marg

a character string for the empirical margin transformation: either "upareto" for unit Pareto, "ufrechet" for unit Frechet or "uunif" for unit uniform margin.

x, object

an R object inheriting from "zvalueRTDE".

...

arguments to be passed to subsequent methods.

Details

Given a bivariate dataset $(X_i, Y_i)_i$ of $n$ points, two variables are defined: (1) for output="orig", the $\tilde Z_{\omega,i}$ variable

$\tilde Z_{\omega,i} = \min \left( f\left(\frac{R_i^X}{n+1}\right), \frac{\omega}{1-\omega} f\left(\frac{R_i^Y}{n+1}\right) \right)$

where $f(x)$ is the margin transformation and $i=1,...,n$ ; (2) for output="relexcess", the $Z_{j}$ variable

$\frac{\widetilde Z_{\omega,n-m+j,n}}{\widetilde Z_{\omega,n-m,n}}$

where $m$ equals nbpoint, $j=1,\dots, m$ , and $\widetilde Z_{\omega,1,n},..., \widetilde Z_{\omega,n,n}$ are the order statistics of $\widetilde Z_{\omega,1},...,\widetilde Z_{\omega,n}$ . The margin transformation is

$f(x) = \frac{1}{1-x}, f(x) = \frac{1}{-\log(x)}, f(x) = x,$

respectively for unit Pareto (marg="upareto"), unit Frechet (marg="ufrechet") and unit uniform margin (marg="uunif").

Value

zvalueRTDE computes the Z-variable and returns an object of class "zvalueRTDE" having the following components type (either "orig" or "relexcess"), omega, Ztilde or Z, n, possibly m.

relexcess computes the relative excesses from a Z-variable and returns an object of class "zvalueRTDE" of type "relexcess".
