vargaugeiis function

Variance of the Impulse Indicator Saturation Gauge

Computes the variance of the gauge (false-positive rate of outliers under the null of no outliers) in impulse indicator saturation based on Jiao and Pretis (2019).

vargaugeiis(t.pval, T, infty=FALSE, m=1)

Arguments

• t.pval: numeric, between 0 and 1. Selection p-value used in indicator saturation.
• T: integer, sample sized used in indicator saturation.
• m: integer, number of iterations in variance computation, default=1
• infty: logical, argument used for variance computation

Details

The function computes the variance of the Gauge (false-positive rate of outliers in impulse indicator saturation) for a given level of significance of selection (t.pval) and sample size (T) based on Jiao and Pretis (2019). This is an auxilliary function used within the outliertest function.

Returns

Returns a dataframe of the variance and standard deviation of the gauge, as well the asymptotic variance and standard deviation.
