validation

Description

validation checks that the slope heuristics can be applied confidently.

Usage

validation(x,data2,...)

Arguments

x

x must be an object of class capushe or DDSE, in practice an output of the capushe function or the DDSE function.

data2

data2 is a matrix or a data.frame with four columns of the same length and each line corresponds to a model:

  1. The first column contains the model names.

  2. The second column contains the penalty shape values.

  3. The third column contains the model complexity values.

  4. The fourth column contains the minimum contrast value for each model.

...

  • If newwindow==TRUE, a new window is created for the plot.

Details

The validation function plots the additional and more complex models data2 to check that the linear relation between the penalty shape values and the contrast values (which is recorded in x) is valid for the more complex models.
