Description

This function calculates bootstrap CIs (by default "bca") for the population interquartile range (IQR), i.e., the difference between first and third quartile.

Usage

ci_IQR(
  x,
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  type = "bootstrap",
  boot_type = c("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic"),
  R = 9999L,
  seed = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

An object of class "cint", see ci_mean() for details.

Arguments

x

A numeric vector.

probs

Lower and upper probabilities, by default c(0.025, 0.975).

type

Type of CI. Currently not used as the only type is "bootstrap".

boot_type

Type of bootstrap CI c("bca", "perc", "norm", "basic").

R

The number of bootstrap resamples. Only used for type = "bootstrap".

seed

An integer random seed. Only used for type = "bootstrap".

...

Further arguments passed to boot::boot().

Examples

x <- rnorm(100)
ci_IQR(x, R = 999)  # Use larger R
