### Name: saddle ### Title: Saddlepoint Approximations for Bootstrap Statistics ### Aliases: saddle ### Keywords: smooth nonparametric ### ** Examples # To evaluate the bootstrap distribution of the mean failure time of # air-conditioning equipment at 80 hours saddle(A=aircondit$hours/12, u=80) # Alternatively this can be done using a conditional poisson saddle(A=cbind(aircondit$hours/12,1), u=c(80,12), wdist="p", type="cond") # To use the Lugananni-Rice approximation to this saddle(A=cbind(aircondit$hours/12,1), u=c(80,12), wdist="p", type="cond", LR = TRUE) # Example 9.16 of Davison and Hinkley (1997) calculates saddlepoint # approximations to the distribution of the ratio statistic for the # city data. Since the statistic is not in itself a linear combination # of random Variables, its distribution cannot be found directly. # Instead the statistic is expressed as the solution to a linear # estimating equation and hence its distribution can be found. We # get the saddlepoint approximation to the pdf and cdf evaluated at # t=1.25 as follows. jacobian <- function(dat,t,zeta) { p <- exp(zeta*(dat$x-t*dat$u)) abs(sum(dat$u*p)/sum(p)) } city.sp1 <- saddle(A=city$x-1.25*city$u, u=0) city.sp1$spa[1] <- jacobian(city, 1.25, city.sp1$zeta.hat) * city.sp1$spa[1] city.sp1
