ci_skewness | R Documentation |
This function calculates bootstrap confidence intervals for the population skewness, see Details.
ci_skewness( x, probs = c(0.025, 0.975), type = "bootstrap", boot_type = c("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic"), R = 9999, seed = NULL, ... )
x |
A numeric vector. |
probs |
Error probabilites. The default c(0.025, 0.975) gives a symmetric 95% confidence interval. |
type |
Type of confidence interval. Currently not used as the only type is "bootstrap". |
boot_type |
Type of bootstrap confidence interval c("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic"). |
R |
The number of bootstrap resamples. |
seed |
An integer random seed. |
... |
Further arguments passed to |
Bootstrap confidence intervals are calculated by the package "boot", see references. The default bootstrap type is "bca" (bias-corrected accelerated) as it enjoys the property of being second order accurate as well as transformation respecting (see Efron, p. 188).
