# Calculates the exact value of $\rho_p^*$, used in the implementation of the strong asymmetry measure $\eta(X)$. Returns $\rho_p^*$, used in the calculation of the strong asymetry measure $\eta(X)$. ```r Rhostar.p.exact(xin, p.param, dist, p1, p2) ``` ## Arguments - `xin`: A vector of data points - the available sample. - `p.param`: A parameter with the value greater than or equal to 1/2 and less than 1. - `dist`: Character string, specifies selected distribution function. - `p1`: A scalar. Parameter 1 (vector or object) of the selected distribution. - `p2`: A scalar. Parameter 2 (vector or object) of the selected distribution. ## Details Implements the quantity $$ \frac{ 2\sqrt{3}}{p} \frac{-\int_{\xi_{1-p}}^{\infty}{f^2(x)(1-F(x))\,dx}+\frac{p}{2}\int_{\xi_{1-p}}^{\infty} f^2(x)\,dx}{ \left \{ p\int_{\xi_{1-p}}^{\infty}f^3(x)\,dx-(\int_{\xi_{1-p}}^{\infty}f^2(x)\,dx)^2 \right \}^{1/2} } $$ defined on page 6 [Patil, Bagkavos and Wood (2014)](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13171-013-0034-z), see also (5) in [Bagkavos, Patil and Wood (2016)](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-41582-6_1). This implementation uses exact calculation of the functionals in the definition of $\rho_p^*$. ## Returns Returns a scalar, the exact value of $\rho_p^*$. ## References * [Patil P.N., Bagkavos D. and Wood A.T.A., (2014).
