Prunes modes away from a level set tree or a shape tree

Description

Prunes smallest modes in terms of the excess mass away, from a level set tree or froma a shape tree. The tree is interpreted as a 1D function (in the sense of a volume function, radius function, or a tail probability function). The pruning may be useful to get cleaner plots, especially a location plot of a shape tree may suffer from spurious modes.

Usage

prunemodes(lst, modenum = 1, num = NULL, exmalim = NULL, maxnum = NULL)

Arguments

Value

A level set tree or a shape tree, with an additional field "exma.of.modes".
