pooled.mean: Pooled Group Sample Mean Subroutine

Description

Internal subroutine called by end-user function mvr and internally by MeanVarReg subroutine.

Usage

pooled.mean(x, block)

Arguments

x
numeric vector or matrix with variables in columns.
block
vector or factor grouping/blocking variable. Must Have length equal to the sample size. All group sample sizes must be greater than 1.

Details

If block describes a unique sample group, ordinary sample mean will be computed.
