Worker: Cauchy scale via the interquartile range

The Chapter 3 Cauchy example. Each replication draws n observations from a Cauchy distribution with scale theta by the quantile transformation and estimates the scale as half the sample interquartile range.

Usage

iqr_worker(n, set_up, ...)

Arguments

n

Sample size for each replication.

set_up

One element of make_set_up().

...

The scale parameter theta as the first element.

Value

A numeric vector of set_up$n_reps scale estimates.
