Examples

## Generate S2 summary data
set.seed(1)
n <- 100
x <- stats::rlnorm(n, 2.5, 1)
quants <- stats::quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75))
obs.mean <- mean(x)
obs.sd <- stats::sd(x)

## Estimate the sample mean and standard deviation using the BC method
res <- qe.mean.sd(q1.val = quants[1], med.val = quants[2],
    q3.val = quants[3], n = n)
summary(res)
