qbymc: qbymc, a q value estimator founded upon medcouple.
Description
Given a random data set, the 'qbymc' uses
the medcouple, a robust measure of tail
weights, to yield a 'q' value, a characteristic
entropic index of the q-gaussian distributions.
Usage
qbymc(x)
Arguments
x
numeric vector
Value
a number q < 3, and the standard error.
