MultiPhaseTimeRange: Phase Time Range for multiple phases

Description

Computes the shortest interval that satisfies : P(PhaseMin < IntervalInf < IntervalSup < PhaseMax | M) = level

Usage

MultiPhaseTimeRange(data, position_minimum, position_maximum = position_minimum+1, level = 0.95, max_decimal = 0)

Arguments

data

dataframe containing the output of the MCMC algorithm

position_minimum

numeric vector containing the column number corresponding to the minimum of the dates included in each phase

position_maximum

numeric vector containing the column number corresponding to the maximum of the dates included in each phase. By default, position_maximum = position_minimum + 1.

level

probability corresponding to the desired level of confidence

max_decimal

maximum number of decimal

Value

Returns a matrix of values containing the level of confidence and the endpoints of the shortest time range associated with the desired level

Details

For each i, MultiPhaseTimeRange computes the time range interval for the phase defined by its minimum position_minimum[i] and its maximum position_maximum[i]. The default value of position_maximum corresponds to CSV files exported from ChronoModel software.

Examples

  # Data extracted from ChronoModel software
  data(Phases)
  
  # List of the name of the phases 
  names(Phases)
  
  # Stipulating position_maximum
  MultiPhaseTimeRange(Phases, c(4,2), c(5,3))
  
  # In this case, equivalent to 
  MultiPhaseTimeRange(Phases, c(4,2))
