LOY threshold

[spsagnik]

Hello,

Thank you for this brilliant package and nice implementation.

However I have doubt regarding 'getThreshold' function from the code 'getLOY.R'. Here you use 'm - x.99' as the threshold for LOY. As per my calculation this should be '2*m - x.99'.

As L (the left threshold) + m = x.99 - m, hence L = x.99 - 2*m.

Please let me know your thought on this and correct me if I am missing something.

Have a nice day. Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in our package No, it is not bilateral is unilateral since we are looking for a threshold of the lower tail of the distribution Hope it clarifies your question Best Juan El mar, 30 ene 2024 a las 15:50, spsagnik ***@***.***>) escribió:

Thank you for the quick reply.
Although my doubt remains. The "ans <- m - x.99" equation from the 'getThreshold' function is not clear to me, as I expect it to be "ans <- 2m - x.99" to obtain the lower threshold.
Let us consider the attached image, where m = -2, x.99 = 10. Threshold would be -12 as per the original equation, hence a distance from threshold to m of only 10 units, whereas the distance between m and the upper threshold is 12 units. With my suggested equation, threshold would be -14, i.e. also 12 units from m.
For a positive m, let us assume m = 3, x.99 = 7, so the lower threshold would be -4 according to the original equation, whereas I thought it would be -1 (i.e. 2m - x.99).
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello,

I was wondering if you had time to check my previous comment and clarify the doubt.

Have a nice day. Thanks.
