lshorth: Length of the Shorth

In lshorth: The Length of the Shorth

Description

For each data point, calculate the length of the shortest interval containing the point and covering a fraction p of the data.

Usage

lshorth(x, probs = NULL, plot = TRUE, na.rm=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	a vector of values for which the shorth length is to be computed.
probs	numeric vector of coverage probabilities with values in [0,1].
plot	logical. If TRUE (default), the length of the shorth is plotted.
na.rm	logical; if TRUE, missing values are removed from x. If FALSE, any missing values cause an error.
...	additional arguments passed to plot

Value

an object of class "lshorth"

x	sorted vector of data
lshorth	matrix of shorth length
probs	vector of coverage probabilities. If probs is not given, a dyadic scale is used based on the sample length.
