lmomRCmark: Sample L-moment for Right-Tail Censoring by a Marking Variable
Description
Compute the sample L-moments for right-tail censored data set in which censored data values are identified by a marking variable.
Usage
lmomRCmark(x, rcmark=NULL, r=1, sort=TRUE)
Arguments
x
A vector of data values.
rcmark
The right-tail censoring (upper) marking variable for unknown threshold: 1 is uncensored, 0 is censored.
r
The L-moment order to return, default is the mean.
sort
Do the data need sorting? The availability of this option is to avoid unnecessary overhead of sorting on each call to this function by the primary higher-level function lmomsRCmark.
Value
An Rlist is returned.
