Corrected variance function

Description

Calculate variance corrected for non-independence of k-fold iterations

Usage

corrected.var(x, nk)

Arguments

x	numeric vector: input values
nk	numeric: number of k-fold iterations

Details

'corrected.var' calculates variance corrected for non-independence of k-fold iterations. See Appendix of Shcheglovitova & Anderson (2013) and other references (Miller 1974; Parr 1985; Shao and Wu 1989) for additional details. This function calculates variance that is corrected for the non-independence of k cross-validation iterations. Following Shao and Wu (1989):

Sum Of Squares * ((n-1)/n)

where n = the number of k-fold iterations.

Value

A numeric value of the corrected variance.
