### Name: lines.saddle.distn ### Title: Add a Saddlepoint Approximation to a Plot ### Aliases: lines.saddle.distn ### Keywords: aplot smooth nonparametric ### ** Examples # In this example we show how a plot such as that in Figure 9.9 of # Davison and Hinkley (1997) may be produced. Note the large number of # bootstrap replicates required in this example. expdata <- rexp(12) vfun <- function(d, i) { n <- length(d) (n-1)/n*var(d[i]) } exp.boot <- boot(expdata,vfun, R = 9999) exp.L <- (expdata-mean(expdata))^2 - exp.boot$t0 exp.tL <- linear.approx(exp.boot, L = exp.L) hist(exp.tL, nclass = 50, prob = TRUE) exp.t0 <- c(0,sqrt(var(exp.boot$t))) exp.sp <- saddle.distn(A = exp.L/12,wdist = "m", t0 = exp.t0) # The saddlepoint approximation in this case is to the density of # t-t0 and so t0 must be added for the plot. lines(exp.sp,h = function(u,t0) u+t0, J = function(u,t0) 1, t0 = exp.boot$t0)
