varianceEstimator: Internal Function for calculating an estimation of variance
Description
internal function not called by userUsage
varianceEstimator(numberOfgroups, sample.size, nsims, qhat, o.nsims)
Arguments
numberOfgroups
numeric indicating the number of groups in study
sample.size
numeric vector indicating sample.size of each group
nsims
The current number of simulations being investigated
qhat
posterior expecation of quantiles (results of
computeQhat)
o.nsims
number of simulations to add in each turn of the
baysian approach
Value
returns a list of length two containing vector of new simulations and
variance estimation
Details
This function is used in the BayesWays function to calculate the
variance and the new vector of simulations being investigated
