weighted_median_ratio function

Weighted Robust Ratio Estimator Based on Median

A weighted median of the ratios y/x determines the slope of a regression through the origin.

weighted_median_ratio(x, y = NULL, w, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

• x: [numeric vector] explanatory variable.
• y: [numeric vector] response variable (default: NULL).
• w: [numeric vector] weights (same length as x).
• na.rm: [logical] indicating whether NA values should be removed before the computation proceeds (default: FALSE).

Returns

A vector with two components: intercept and slope
