5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{weight}$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: indicates whether user-defined weights are to be used.

• If $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$, user-defined weights are to be used and must be supplied in wt.
• If $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'U'}$, the data is treated as unweighted.

Constraint: $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$ or $\text{'U'}$.

2: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

On entry: $n$, the number of observations.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 1$.

3: $\mathbf{x}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

On entry: the values, $x_{\mathit{i}}$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$.

4: $\mathbf{y}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

On entry: the values $y_{\mathit{i}}$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$.

5: $\mathbf{wt}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

Note: the dimension of the array wt must be at least $\mathbf{n}$ if $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$.

On entry: if $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$, wt must contain the $n$ weights. Otherwise wt is not referenced and unit weights are assumed.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$, $\mathbf{wt}\left(\mathit{i}\right)\ge 0.0$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,n$;
• if $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$, ${\sum }_{i=1}^n\mathbf{wt}\left(i\right)>0$.

6: $\mathbf{nord}$ – Integer Output

On exit: the number of distinct observations.

7: $\mathbf{xord}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the first nord elements contain the ordered and distinct $x_i$.

8: $\mathbf{yord}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the first nord elements contain the values $y^{\prime }$ corresponding to the values in xord.

9: $\mathbf{wtord}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the first nord elements contain the values $w^{\prime }$ corresponding to the values of xord and yord.

10: $\mathbf{rss}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output

On exit: the within group sum of squares for tied observations.

11: $\mathbf{iwrk}\left(\mathbf{n}\right)$ – Integer array Workspace

12: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 1$.

On entry, $\mathbf{weight}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{weight}=\text{'W'}$ or $\text{'U'}$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

On entry, all weights are zero.

On entry, $i=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathbf{wt}\left(i\right)=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{wt}\left(i\right)\ge 0.0$.
