mcnemasc {EQUIVNONINF} | R Documentation |
The program computes the largest nominal significance level
which can be substituted for the target level \alpha
without making the exact
size of the asymptotic testing procedure larger than \alpha
.
mcnemasc(alpha,n,del0,sw,tol,maxh)
alpha |
significance level |
n |
sample size |
del0 |
upper limit set to |
sw |
width of the search grid for determining the maximum of the rejection probability on the common boundary of the hypotheses |
tol |
upper bound to the absolute difference between size and target level below which the search for a corrected nominal level terminates |
maxh |
maximum number of interval halving steps to be carried out in finding the maximally raised nominal level |
alpha |
significance level |
n |
sample size |
del0 |
upper limit set to |
sw |
width of the search grid for determining the maximum of the rejection probability on the common boundary of the hypotheses |
ALPH_0 |
value of the corrected nominal level obtained after nh steps |
NH |
number of interval-halving steps actually performed |
ERROR |
error indicator messaging "!!!!!" if the sufficient condition for the correctness of the result output by the program was found violated |
