Values of k for a given sample size for the calculation of distribution means for a Gaussian finite mixture using equations in Godfrey et al. (1993). k gives the mean expected number of standard deviations (as measured for the whole dataset) represented in the observed data range for a given sample size.

Usage

data(FMAtable)

Format

An object of class data.frame with 99 rows and 2 columns.
