The scaleM Function #11

Open robustport opened 5 months ago

robustport commented 5 months ago

The second sentence of the Description for the scaleM is confusing with regard to the "sample standard deviation" part: "M-estimators of scale are a robust alternative to the sample standard deviation." I guess replacing scale by "dispersion" would make this sentence correct, but that is not what is needed here. Maybe replace "sample standard deviation" with "square root of the sample second moment" ?

The help documentation for scaleM is in the file DCML.R (lines 1-51).
