Usage

iqrp(x, y, factor = 1)

Arguments

x

vector of observations

y

vector of observations

factor

Scaling factor (deprecated)

Details

We subtract the median from each group and then compute the interquartile range from the combination of the (shifted) samples. Finite sample corretion factors have been estimated from a simulation study. Those do not work particularly well to produce nearly unbiased estimates for normally distributed samples but are better than nothing.

The scaling factor does nothing.

Value
