Example use

The following code demonstrates the use of dragonking with a mock dataset. For examples of more detailed and varied use, please see the documentation and available vignettes.

# load dragonking package
library("dragonking")

# create mock dataset with no dragon kings (DKs)
set.none <- rexp(100)

# create mock dataset with 5 DKs
set.dk <- c(rexp(95),
            15.1, 14.9, 15.0, 14.95, 15.09) # DKs

# run DK test on dataset without DKs (we are looking for 2 DKs)
results.none <- dk_test(set.none, r = 2)
print(results.none["Test Statistic"]) # retrieve test stat
print(results.none["p-value"])        # retrieve p-value

# run DK test on dataset with DKs (we are looking for 3 DKs)
dk_test(set.dk, r = 3)                # print out test stat and p-value
