Replicate band for one cell

Replicate band for one cell

Usage

replicate_band(x, k = BAND_K, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector of replicate values for one cell.

k

Half-width in standard deviations; see BAND_K.

na.rm

If TRUE, drop replicates that are not finite.

Value

A one-row data frame with centre (the median), scale (the standard deviation), lower and upper (centre minus and plus k * scale). All are NA with fewer than two replicates. The median is used because it is what the figures draw and it is robust to the skew in cells holding few episodes; over the cells the claims rest on, median and mean agree to 0.02 standard deviations.
