Computes the lower and upper boundaries based on Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) from a numeric vector. Returns c(NA_real_, NA_real_) if the input vector has less than 2 elements or if no values fall within the computed fences.

Usage

get_mad_tails(x, k, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector

k

multiplier for the MAD

na.rm

if TRUE then NA values are stripped from x before computation takes place.

Value

a numeric vector of length 2 with the lower and upper boundaries.
