hl.loc {ICSNP} | R Documentation |
Function to compute the Hodges - Lehmann estimator of location in the one sample case.
hl.loc(x, na.action = na.fail)
x |
a numeric vector. |
na.action |
a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain 'NA's. Default is to fail. |
The Hodges - Lehmann estimator is the median of the combined data points and Walsh averages.
It is the same as the Pseudo Median returned as a by-product of the function wilcox.test
.
the Hodges - Lehmann estimator of location.
