mscoreInternal: Computes M-scores for M-tests and estimates.

In fugue: Sensitivity Analysis Optimized for Matched Sets of Varied Sizes

Description

Of very limited interest to most users, function mscoreInternal() computes the M-scores used by functions sen().

Usage

mscoreInternal(ymat, inner, trim)

Arguments

ymat	A matrix of outcomes scaled for use in an M-statistic; see the discussion of the parameter lambda in the documentation for the sen function. If the largest matched set has K controls, and there are I matched sets, then ymat is an I x (K+1) matrix. Each row is a matched set. The first column contains the treated individual in the matched set. The remaining columns contain the controls. If a set has fewer than K controls, then its last columns are NAs.
inner	inner is the inner[i] parameter described in the documentation for sen().
trim	trim is the trim[i] parameter described in the documentation for sen().

Value

Generally, a matrix with the same dimensions as ymat containing the M-scores.
