k.qcs: Function to calcute the Mandel's k statistic

Description

This function is used to compute the statistic k of Mandel.

Usage

k.qcs(x, ...)
"k.qcs"(x, var.index = 1, replicate.index = 2, material.index = 3, laboratory.index = 4, data.name = NULL, alpha = 0.05, ...)
"k.qcs"(x, alpha = 0.05, ...)

Arguments

x

an R object (used to select the method). See details.

...

arguments passed to or from methods.

var.index

Scalar with the column number corresponding to the observed variable (the critical to quality variable). Alternatively, a string with the name of a quality variable can be provided.

replicate.index

Scalar with the column number corresponding to the index each replicate.

material.index

Scalar corresponding to the replicated number.

laboratory.index

Scalar that defines the index number of each laboratory.

data.name

String specifying the name of the variable which appears on the plots. If name is not provided, it is retrieved from the object.

alpha

The significance level (0.05 by default)
