hodges_lehmann_2sample: Two-sample Hodges-Lehmann estimator

In robnptests: Robust Nonparametric Two-Sample Tests for Location/Scale

Two-sample Hodges-Lehmann estimator

Description

hodges_lehmann_2sample calculates the two-sample Hodges-Lehmann estimator for the location difference of two samples x and y.

Usage

hodges_lehmann_2sample(x, y, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.
y	a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.
na.rm	a logical value indicating whether NA values in x and y should be stripped before the computation proceeds. The default is na.rm = FALSE.

Details

The two-sample Hodges-Lehmann estimator for two samples x and y of sizes m and n is defined as

med(|x_i - y_j|, 1 ≤ i ≤ m, 1 ≤ j ≤ n).

Value

The two-sample Hodges-Lehmann estimator.
