weightedMean: Calculation of Outlier-Robust Weighted Mean

In nishithkumarpaul/Rvolcano: Robust Volcano Plot: Identification of Influential Metabolites in the Presence of Outliers

Description

This function calculates the outlier-robust weighted mean in presence of outliers. A kernel weight function has been used in this function.

Usage

weightedMean(x, b)

Arguments

x	a numerical vector of metabolomic measurements.
b	value of tuning parameter. Default value is 0.2.

Value

Computed the weighted mean.
