Return key statistical quantities generated from value and standard error
statSE.RdA function is generated that can be called with a number of keywords to return the requested quantity of interest, accordingly. The function is typically used in IQRtable.
statSE(value, se = 10, digits = NA)Arguments
- value
numeric values.
- se
standard error of the numeric values.
- digits
number of significant digits (if NA (default), format_GUM is used to determine number of significant digits, otherwise, signif function is used instead of format_GUM)
Value
Function outfn(char) that can be called with the key words
value(value rounded to significant digits according to standard error)se(standard error rounded to two significant digits)rse(relative standard error rounded to significant digits according to standard error)rse%(relative standard error as percentage)lower.xwherexis between 1 and 99 (lower confidence bound rounded to significant digits according to standard error)upper.xwherexis between 1 and 99 (upper confidence bound rounded to significant digits according to standard error)
Details
The function uses format_GUM to round to significant digits and format the output. The standard error of rse is assumed
to be rse^2 which is derived by Gaussian error propagation and the assumption that se is known without uncertainty.
