ranks {quantreg} | R Documentation |
Function to compute ranks from the dual (regression rankscore) process.
ranks(v, score="wilcoxon", tau=0.5)
v |
object of class "rq.process" generated by rq()
|
score |
The score function desired. Currently implemented score functions
are "wilcoxon" , "normal" , and "sign"
which are asymptotically optimal for
the logistic, Gaussian and Laplace location shift models respectively.
Also implemented are the "tau" which generalizes sign scores to an
arbitrary quantile, and "interquartile" which is appropriate
for tests of scale shift.
|
tau |
the optional value of tau if the "tau" score function is used.

See GJKP(1993) for further details.
The function returns two components. One is the ranks, the other is a scale factor which is the L_2 norm of the score function. All score functions should be normalized to have mean zero.
