varianceEstimator: Internal Function for calculating an estimation of variance

In dbEmpLikeNorm: Test for joint assessment of normality

Description

internal function not called by user

Usage

varianceEstimator(numberOfgroups,
                  sample.size,
                  nsims,
                  qhat,
                  o.nsims)

Arguments

numberOfgroups	numeric indicating the number of groups in study
sample.size	numeric vector indicating sample.size of each group
nsims	The current number of simulations being investigated
qhat	posterior expecation of quantiles (results of computeQhat)
o.nsims	number of simulations to add in each turn of the baysian approach

Details

This function is used in the BayesWays function to calculate the variance and the new vector of simulations being investigated

Value

returns a list of length two containing vector of new simulations and variance estimation

Note
