Check if truncation time is appropriate relative to the maximum delay

This function checks if the truncation time D is appropriate relative to the maximum delay. If D is much larger than necessary, it suggests considering setting it to Inf for better efficiency with minimal accuracy cost.

Usage

check_truncation(delays, D, multiplier = 2)

Arguments

delays

A numeric vector of delay times

D

The truncation time

multiplier

The multiplier for the maximum delay to compare with D. Default is 2.

Value

Invisible NULL. Prints a message if the condition is met.

Examples

check_truncation(delays = c(1, 2, 3, 4), D = 10, multiplier = 2)
#> The truncation time D (10) is larger than 2 times the maximum observed delay (4). Consider setting D to Inf for better efficiency with minimal accuracy cost for this case.
