In NSM3: Functions and Datasets to Accompany Hollander, Wolfe, and Chicken - Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Third Edition

Function to compute the upper-tail probability of the range of k independent N(0,1) random variables for a given cutoff.

Description

Uses the integrate function based on the method proposed in Harter (1960).

Usage

pRangeNor(x,k)

Arguments

x	Cutoff at which the upper-tail P-value is to be calculated.
k	Number of independent Normal random variables.

Value

Returns the upper tail probability at the user-specified cutoff.
