R help - Aug 2015 - Is there a R function for the nonparametric Walsh Test?

Everyone:

I am currently trying to reproduce the nonparametric Walsh Test, as presented in
Siegel (1956, pp. 83-87), and unfortunately I cannot find a R function for this
test.

I would certainly appreciate any pointers for the Walsh Test using R, or perhaps
a reasonable substitute if there is simply no package::function that
specifically addresses this test.

Thank you and best wishes.

I don't know of any extant function to effect the Walsh Test, but having 
had a look at the recipe given in

   http://www.statistics4u.com/fundstat_eng/ee_walsh_outliertest.html

I would say that anyone with even a modest knowledge of R could write 
such a function in under 5 minutes.
