conf.interval: Confidence Interval for Population Median

In MedOr: Median Ordering Statistical R package

Description

Evaluates a confidence interval for population median.

Usage

 conf.interval(x,alpha=0.95,verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

x	observed vector/sample.
alpha	confidence level.
verbose	print time elapsed (TRUE).

Details

Evaluates a confidence interval for population median based in the order statistics. It is considered the distribution of order statistics to evaluate the confidence level of the interval. It is not assumed any asymptotic distribution.

Value

A list with components:

cint1	A vector with the confidence interval limits, given by the biggest confidence level lower than or equal to alpha.
cint2	A vector with the confidence interval limits, given by the lowest confidence level bigger than or equal to alpha. If there is not interval with confidence level bigger than or equal to alpha, then cint2 is NULL.
alpha	Desired confidence level.
run.time	Time spent.
call	command evaluated.

Examples

  x <- rnorm(10,0,1)
  conf.interval(x)
