lshorth (version 0.1-6)

lshorth: 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.
