CI for the Skewness

Description

This function calculates bootstrap CIs for the population skewness. By default, bootstrap type "bca" is used.

Usage

ci_skewness(
  x,
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  type = "bootstrap",
  boot_type = c("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic"),
  R = 9999L,
  seed = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector.
probs	Lower and upper probabilities, by default c(0.025, 0.975).
type	Type of CI. Currently not used as the only type is "bootstrap".
boot_type	Type of bootstrap CI. Only used for type = "bootstrap".
R	The number of bootstrap resamples. Only used for type = "bootstrap".
seed	An integer random seed. Only used for type = "bootstrap".
...	Further arguments passed to boot::boot().

Value

An object of class "cint", see ci_mean() for details.
