uM2pool {Umoments}

Pooled central moment estimates - two-sample

Description

Calculate pooled unbiased estimates of central moments and their powers and products.

Usage

uM2pool(m2, n_x, n_y)

Arguments

m2

naive biased variance estimate m_2 = 1/(n_x + n_y) \sum_{i = 1}^{n_x} ((X_i - \bar{X})^2 + \sum_{i = 1}^{n_y} ((Y_i - \bar{Y})^2 for vectors X and Y.

n_x

number of observations in the first group.

n_y

number of observations in the second group.

Value

Pooled variance estimate.
