DepthProc (version 1.0.3)

lsdSampleMaxDepth: Calculates the maximum sample location-scale depth

Description

Calculates the maximum Student depth estimator of location and scale for one dimensional data (an alternative for MED and MAD or for the mean and standard deviation).

Usage

lsdSampleMaxDepth(x, iter = 100, eps = 1e-04, p_length = 10)

Arguments

x

one dimensional vector with sample

iter

maximum number of iterations in algorith for calculation Location-Scale Depth

eps

tolerance level

p_length

is the maximum length of the precision step at the end

Details

Calculations are based on lsdepth algorithm written by Ch. Muller.
