deepReg2d function

Simple deepest regression method.

This function calculates deepest regression estimator for simple regression.

deepReg2d(x, y)

Arguments

• x: Independent variable.
• y: Dependent variable.

Details

Function originates from an original algorithm proposed by Rousseeuw and Hubert. Let ${Z} ^ {n} = {(x_1, y_1), ..., (x_n, y_n)} \subset {{R} ^ {d}}$ denotes a sample considered from a following semiparametric model: ${{y}_{l}} = {{a}_{0}} + {{a}_{1}}{{x}_{1l}} + ... + {{a}_{(d - 1)l}}{{x}_{(d - 1)l}} + {{\varepsilon }_{l}}, {l = 1, ..., n}$, we calculate a depth of a fit $\alpha = (a_{0}, ..., a_{d - 1})$ as $RD(\alpha, {{Z} ^ {n}}) = {u \ne 0}\min\sharp {l: \frac{ {{r}_{l}}(\alpha) }{ {{u} ^ {T}}{{x}_{l}} } < 0, l = 1, ..., n}$, where $r(\cdot)$ denotes the regression residual, $\alpha = (a_{0}, ..., a_{d - 1})$, ${u} ^ {T}{x}_{l} \ne 0$. The deepest regression estimator $DR(\alpha, {{Z} ^ {n}})$ is defined as $DR(\alpha, {{Z} ^ {n}}) = {\alpha \ne 0}\,\arg\max\,RD(\alpha, {{Z} ^ {n}})$

Examples

# EXAMPLE 1
data(pension)
plot(pension)
abline(
  lm(Reserves ~ Income, data = pension),
  lty = 3,
  lwd = 2) # lm
abline(
  deepReg2d(pension[, 1], pension[, 2]),
  lwd = 2) # deepreg2d

# EXAMPLE 2
data(under5.mort)
data(inf.mort)
data(maesles.imm)
data2011 <- na.omit(
    cbind(under5.mort[, 22], inf.mort[, 22],
    maesles.imm[, 22]))

x <- data2011[, 3]
y <- data2011[, 2]
plot(
  x, y,
  cex = 1.2,
  ylab = "infant mortality rate per 1000 live birth",
  xlab = "against masles immunized percentage",
  main = "Projection Depth Trimmed vs. LS regressions"
)
abline(lm(x ~ y), lwd = 2, col = "black") # lm
abline(
  deepReg2d (x, y),
  lwd = 2, col = "red"
) # trimmed reg
