p1.given.p0 {MChtest}R Documentation

Find p0 (or p1) associated with p1 (or p0) that gives minimax tsprt

Description

Consider the SPRT for testing Ho:p=p0 vs H1:p=p1 where p1< Alpha < p0. For Monte Carlo tests, we want to reject and conclude that p<Alpha. In terms of the resampling risk at p (i.e., the probability of reaching a wrong decision at p) the minimax SPRT has a particular relationship between p0 and p1. Here we calculate p1 given p0 or vise versa to obtain that relationship.

Usage

p1.given.p0(p0, Alpha = 0.05, TOL = 10^-9)
p0.given.p1(p1, Alpha = 0.05, TOL = 10^-9)

Arguments

p0 null such that p0>Alpha
p1 alternative such that p1<Alpha
Alpha want tsprt associated with testing p=Alpha or not
TOL tolerance level input into call to uniroot

Value

either p0 or p1
