The C code for Qn() and Sn(), src/qnsn.c is based on Fortran code
that has been be available from

   (-> Programs -> Robust)

and carries the note

   This file contains fortran functions for two new robust estimators
   of scale denoted as Qn and Sn, decribed in Rousseeuw and Croux (1993).
   These estimators have a high breakdown point and a bounded influence
   function. The implementation given here is very fast (running in
   O(n logn) time) and needs little storage space.
