robust: Algorithm that implements the robust method for reference interval calculations
Description
The robust method is an iterative method that determines the most appropriate weighted
mean of the data and then calculates the desired reference interval.
Usage
robust(data, indices = c(1:length(data)), refConf = 0.95)
Value
Returns a vector containing the lower and upper limits of the reference interval.
Arguments
data
Vector of data.
indices
Indices of data to use for calculations.
refConf
Desired coverage of the reference interval. Default is 95
interval.
