Binary Expansion Adaptive Symmetry Test

Description

BEAST (Binary Expansion Adaptive Symmetry Test) is used for nonparametric detection of nonuniformity or dependence.

Usage

BEAST(
  X,
  dep,
  subsample.percent = 1/2,
  B = 100,
  unif.margin = FALSE,
  lambda = NULL,
  index = list(c(1:ncol(X))),
  method = "p",
  num = NULL
)

Arguments

X

a matrix to be tested.

dep

depth of the binary expansion for the BEAST.

subsample.percent

sample size for subsampling.

B

times of subsampling.

unif.margin

logicals. If TRUE the marginal distribution is known to be Uniform[0,1]. Default is FALSE, and empirical cdf transformation will be applied to each marginal distribution.

lambda

tuning parameter for soft-thresholding, default to be log(2pdep)/(8n).\sqrt{\log(2^{p \cdot dep}) / (8n)}.

index

a list of indices. If provided, test the independence among two or more groups of variables. For example, index = list(c(1,2), c(3))) refers to test the independence between (X1,X2)(X_1, X_2) and X3X_3. Default to be list(c(1:p)) to test if the data follow the multivariate uniform distribution over [0,1]p[0,1]^p, where p = ncol(X).

method

If "p", then compute null distribution with permutations. If "s", then compute null distribution with simulations. If "stat", only return interaction and BEAST Statistic. The method = "s" option is only available for testing uniformity and bivariate independence.

num

number of permutations if method == "p" (default to be 100), or simulations if method == "s" (default to be 1000).

Value

Interaction

the most frequent interaction among all subsamples.

BEAST.Statistic

BEAST statistic.

Null.Distribution

simulated null distribution.

p.value

simulated p-value.

Plotting Binary Expansion Testing (2-dimensions)

Description

bet.plot shows the cross interaction of the strongest asymmetry, which the BET returns with the rejection of independence null. This function only works for the test on two variables, that is, X can only have two columns. There are 22dep12^{2dep} - 1 nontrivial binary variables in the σ\sigma-field and (2dep1)2(2^dep - 1)^2 of them are cross interactions, whose positive regions are in plotted in white and whose negative regions are plotted in blue. plot.bet shows the cross interaction where the difference of number of observations in the positive and negative region is largest.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'plot'
bet(X, dep, unif.margin = FALSE, cex=0.5, index = list(c(1:ncol(X))), ...)

Arguments

X

a matrix with two columns.

dep

depth of BET.

unif.margin

logicals. If TRUE the marginal distribution is known to be Uniform[0,1]. Default is FALSE, and empirical cdf transformation will be applied to each marginal distribution.

cex

number indicating the amount by which plotting text and symbols should be scaled relative to the default.

index

a list of indices. If provided, test the independence among two or more groups of variables. For example, index = list(c(1,2)) refers to test data uniformity, index = list(1, 2) refers to test independence between X1X_1 and X2X_2. Default to be list(c(1:p)), where p = ncol(X), then test data uniformity.

graphical parameters to plot

Examples

v <- runif(128, -pi, pi)
X1 <- cos(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
X2 <- sin(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
bet.plot(cbind(X1, X2), 3, index = list(1,2))

Counts the amount of points in each cell after binary expansion.

Description

cell.counts returns the amount of data points in each cell getting from binary expansion.

Usage

cell.counts(X, dep, unif.margin = FALSE)

Arguments

X

a matrix to be tested.

dep

depth of the marginal binary expansions.

unif.margin

logicals. If TRUE the data has been uniformed based on empirical cumulative distribution function. Default to be FALSE and the function uniforms the data.

Value

The result is a dataframe with 2 rows and 2(pdep)2^(p*dep) columns, where pp is the number of columns of X. The first column is the binary index, the second column is the amount of data points.

Examples

v <- runif(128, -pi, pi)
X1 <- cos(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
X2 <- sin(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)

Binary Expansion Testing at a Certain Depth

Description

MaxBET stands for Binary Expansion Testing. It is used for nonparametric detection of nonuniformity or dependence. It can be used to test whether a column vector is [0, 1]-uniformly distributed. It can also be used to detect dependence between columns of a matrix X, if X has more than one column.

Usage

MaxBET(
  X,
  dep,
  unif.margin = FALSE,
  asymptotic = TRUE,
  plot = FALSE,
  index = list(c(1:ncol(X)))
)

Arguments

X

a matrix to be tested. When X has only one column, BET will test whether X is [0, 1]-uniformly distributed (an error will be given if data is out of range [0, 1]). When X has two or more columns, BET tests the independence among those column vectors.

dep

depth of the binary expansion for the BET.

unif.margin

logicals. If TRUE the marginal distribution is known to be Uniform[0,1]. Default is FALSE, and empirical cdf transformation will be applied to each marginal distribution.

asymptotic

logicals. If TRUE the p-value is computed by asymptotic distribution. Default to be TRUE. Ignored if X has three or more columns.

plot

logicals. If TRUE, make the plot of cross interaction of the strongest asymmetry. Default to be FALSE. This option only works for X with two columns.

index

a list of indices. If provided, test the independence among two or more groups of variables. For example, index = list(c(1,2), c(3))) refers to test the independence between (X1,X2)(X_1, X_2) and X3X_3. Default to be list(c(1:p)), where p = ncol(X), then test data uniformity.

Details

MaxBET tests the independence or uniformity by considering the maximal magnitude of the symmetry statistics in the sigmasigma-field generated from marginal binary expansions at the depth d.

Value

Interaction

a dataframe with pp columns, where pp is the number of columns of X. It displays the interactions where the extreme symmetry statistics happens. For each column in X, we use a binary index to indicate binary variables involved in the extreme symmetry statistic.

Extreme.Asymmetry

the extreme asymmetry statistics.

p.value.bonf

p-value of the test with Bonferroni adjustment.

z.statistic

normal approximation of the test statistic.

Examples

##test mutual independence
v <- runif(128, -pi, pi)
X1 <- cos(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
X2 <- sin(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
MaxBET(cbind(X1, X2), 3, asymptotic = FALSE, index = list(1,2))

##test independence between (x1, x2) and y
x1 = runif(128)
x2 = runif(128)
y = sin(4*pi*(x1 + x2)) + 0.4*rnorm(128)
MaxBET(cbind(x1, x2, y), 3, index = list(c(1,2), c(3)))

##test uniformity
x1 = rbeta(128, 2, 4)
x2 = rbeta(128, 2, 4)
x3 = rbeta(128, 2, 4)
MaxBET(cbind(x1, x2, x3), 3)

Binary Expansion Testing up to a Certain Depth

Description

MaxBETs is used for nonparametric dependence detection. Extended from BET, for a chosen maximal depth d.max, MaxBETs does a sequential test up to d.max and avoids overlapping symmetry statistics in different depths, for all 2dd.max2 \le d \le d.max. The adjustment is done by multiplying the number of interactions which are in the σ\sigma-field generated by marginal binary expansions at depth dd but not in that at depth d1d-1.

Usage

MaxBETs(
  X,
  d.max = 4,
  unif.margin = FALSE,
  asymptotic = TRUE,
  plot = FALSE,
  index = list(c(1:ncol(X)))
)

Arguments

X

a matrix to be tested. When X has only one column, BETs will test whether X is [0, 1]-uniformly distributed (an error will be given if data is out of range [0, 1]). When X has two or more columns, BETs tests the independence among those column vectors.

d.max

the maximal depth of the binary expansion for BETs.

unif.margin

logicals. If TRUE the marginal distribution is known to be Uniform[0,1]. Default is FALSE, and empirical cdf transformation will be applied to each marginal distribution.

asymptotic

logicals. If TRUE the p-value is computed by asymptotic distribution. Default to be TRUE. Ignored if X has three or more columns.

plot

logicals. If TRUE, make the plot of cross interaction of the strongest asymmetry. Default to be FALSE. This option only works for X with two columns.

index

a list of indices. If provided, test the independence among two or more groups of variables, for example, (X1,X2)(X_1, X_2) and X3X_3.

Value

bet.s.pvalue.bonf

the overall p-value on the test.

bet.s.index

the interaction that the p-value is minimal.

bet.s.zstatistic

normal approximation of the test statistic.

Examples

##test mutual independence
v <- runif(128, -pi, pi)
X1 <- cos(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
X2 <- sin(v) + 2.5 * rnorm(128, 0, 1/20)
MaxBETs(cbind(X1, X2), 3, asymptotic = FALSE, index = list(1,2))

##test independence between (x1, x2) and y
x1 = runif(128)
x2 = runif(128)
y = sin(4*pi*(x1 + x2)) + 0.4*rnorm(128)
MaxBETs(cbind(x1, x2, y), 3, index = list(c(1,2), c(3)))

##test uniformity
x1 = rbeta(128, 2, 4)
x2 = rbeta(128, 2, 4)
