ArchaeoPhases (version 1.8)

PhaseTimeRange: Phase time range

Description

Computes the shortest interval that satisfies \(P(PhaseMin_chain =< IntervalInf < IntervalSup =< PhaseMax_chain | M) = level\)

Usage

PhaseTimeRange(PhaseMin_chain, PhaseMax_chain, level = 0.95)

Arguments

PhaseMin_chain

: Numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the minimum of the events included in the phase.

PhaseMax_chain

: Numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the maximum of the events included in the phase.

level

Probability corresponding to the desired level of confidence.

Value

A vector of values containing the desired level of confidence and the endpoints of the shortest time range associated with this desired level. The result is given in calendar years (BC/AD).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  data(Phases); attach(Phases)
  PhaseTimeRange(Phase.1.alpha, Phase.1.beta, 0.95)
  PhaseTimeRange(Phase.2.alpha, Phase.2.beta, 0.90)
