se: Standard Error

In dpritchard/takiwaR: Methods for "State of the Takiwa" Monitoring

Description

This function computes the standard error of the values in x. If na.rm is TRUE then missing values are removed before computation proceeds.

Usage

se(x, na.rm=FALSE)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector.
na.rm	A logical. Should missing values be removed? See details for implementation.

Details

If na.rm=TRUE then na.rm=TRUE is passed to sd and n is calculated as length(na.omit(x)).

Note this might have unexpected consequences for matrixes or dataframes, which is why x MUST be a vector.
