HuberM | R Documentation |
(Generalized) Huber M-estimator of location with MAD scale, being
sensible also when the scale is zero where huber()
returns an error.
HuberM(x, k = 1.345, mu = median(x), s = mad(x, center = mu),
na.rm = FALSE, conf.level = NA, ci.type = c("wald", "boot"), ...)
x |
numeric vector. |
k |
positive factor; the algorithm winsorizes at |
mu |
initial location estimator. |
s |
scale estimator held constant through the iterations. |
na.rm |
logical, indicating whether |
conf.level |
confidence level of the interval. If set to |
ci.type |
The type of confidence interval required. The value should be any subset
of the values |
... |
the dots are passed to the function |
The standard error is computed using the \tau
correction factor but no finite sample correction.
The original function is not exported, but can be accessed as DescTools::.huberM
.
If conf.level
is set to NA
then the result will be
a |
single numeric value |
and
if a conf.level
is provided, a named numeric vector with 3 elements:
huberm |
the estimate for location |
lwr.ci |
lower bound of the confidence interval |
upr.ci |
upper bound of the confidence interval |
