singleRefLimit: This is the workhorse of the refLimit function

In referenceIntervals: Reference Intervals

This is the workhorse of the refLimit function

Description

This is the function called to work on each individual vector of data.

Usage

singleRefLimit(data, dname = "default", out.method = "horn", out.rm = FALSE,
RI = "p", CI = "p", refConf = 0.95, limitConf = 0.9, bootStat = "basic")

Arguments

data	A vector of data points.
dname	Name of dataset.
out.method	The outlier detection method. Valid options include "horn", "cook", "dixon", and "vanderLoo".
out.rm	Remove outliers. If value is TRUE, outliers will be automatically removed prior to calculations. If FALSE (default), outliers will be detected but not removed.
RI	Method for reference interval calculations. Valid options include "p" (default) for parametric, "n" for non-parametric, and "r" for robust method.
CI	Method for confidence interval calculations. Valid options include "p" for parametric (default), "n" for non-parametric, and "boot" for bootstrapping method. The minimum sample size for non-parametric confidence interval calculations is 120. With smaller samples, bootstrapping methods are used.
refConf	Desired coverage for the calculated reference interval. The default is a 95
limitConf	Desired confidence interval level. The default is a 90 confidence interval around the reference interval limits.
bootStat	Method for calculating confidence intervals from package boot. Valid arguments include "basic" (basic bootstrap method), "perc" (bootstrap percentile method), "norm" (normal approximation method), "stud" (studentized bootstrap method), and "bca" (adjusted bootstrap percentile method).

Value

Returns a list of necessary information.

size	Size of dataset
dname	Name of dataset
out.method	Method of outlier detection
out.rm	Boolean indicating whether outliers are automatically removed
outliers	Vector of detected outliers
methodRI	Method for reference interval calculations (p, n, or r)
methodCI	Method for confidence interval calculations (p, n, boot)
norm	Results of running Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmorgorov-Smirnov normacy tests
refConf	Desired coverage of reference interval
limitConf	Desired confidence interval level
Ref_Int	List containing the reference interval and confidence interval values
