RankNorm {RNOmni} | R Documentation |
Applies the rank-based inverse normal transform (INT) to a numeric vector. The INT can be broken down into a two-step procedure. In the first, the observations are transformed onto the probability scale using the empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF). In the second, the observations are transformed onto the real line, as Z-scores, using the probit function.
RankNorm(u, k = 0.375, ties.method = "average")
u |
Numeric vector. |
k |
Offset. Defaults to (3/8), corresponding to the Blom transform. |
ties.method |
Method of breaking ties, passed to |
Numeric vector of rank normalized values.
# Draw from chi-1 distribution
y <- stats::rchisq(n = 1e3, df = 1)
# Rank normalize
z <- RankNorm(y)
# Plot density of transformed measurement
