MeanCI | R Documentation |
Collection of several approaches to determine confidence intervals for the mean. Both, the classical way and bootstrap intervals are implemented for both, normal and trimmed means.
MeanCI(
x,
sd = NULL,
trim = 0,
conf.level = 0.95,
sides = c("two.sided", "left", "right"),
method = c("classic", "boot"),
na.rm = FALSE,
...
)
x |
a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values. |
sd |
the standard deviation of x. If provided it's interpreted as sd of
the population and the normal quantiles will be used for constructing the
confidence intervals. If left to |
trim |
the fraction (0 to 0.5) of observations to be trimmed from each
end of |
conf.level |
confidence level of the interval. |
sides |
a character string specifying the side of the confidence
interval, must be one of |
method |
A vector of character strings representing the type of
intervals required. The value should be any subset of the values

na.rm |
a logical value indicating whether |
