the aim is to calculate robust reference interval and confidence interval of reference value(upper,lower)

Your matrices are a certain size, let's say nxk. If you have a subscript which refers to column k+1 or refers to row n+1, or refers to row or column <=0, you will get the error.

You can debug this code by putting PRINT or SHOW commands in your code that will write to the log the actual sizes of the matrices and the values of subscripts used.

It is best practice to copy from the LOG the submitted code along with the error message. Paste into a code box opened with the {I} or running man icon. Many times the position and other information in the log gives clues as the where the error occurs. So just the error message isn't quite as helpful.

Currently, you have the statements

if sum(flag) < n then ui = ui[loc(flag)=1]; else if sum(flag)= n then ui= ui;

I suspect you meant to write

if sum(flag) < n then ui = ui[loc(flag=1)]; /* <== CHANGE THIS LINE */ else if sum(flag)= n then ui= ui;

Be aware that if no element of FLAG equals 1, then the LOC function returns an empty matrix.

which would result in an error.
