ArchaeoPhases (version 2.1.0)

boundaries: Phase Time Range

Description

Computes the shortest interval that satisfies \(P(PhaseMin < IntervalInf < IntervalSup < PhaseMax | M) = level\) for each phase.

Usage

boundaries(x, y, ...)
# S4 method for numeric,numeric
boundaries(x, y, level = 0.95)
# S4 method for PhasesMCMC,missing
boundaries(x, level = 0.95)

Value

The endpoints of the shortest time range (at a given level).

Arguments

x, y

A numeric vector. If y is missing, x must be an PhasesMCMC object.

...

Currently not used.

level

A length-one numeric vector giving the confidence level.

Methods (by class)

• boundaries(x = numeric, y = numeric): Returns a length-two numeric vector (terminal times).

• boundaries(x = PhasesMCMC, y = missing): Returns a TimeRange object.
