areaovate: Area Calculation for an Ovate Polygon

Description

areaovate is used to calculate the area of an ovate polygon made from combing two symmetrical curves generated by a performance equation (e.g., MLRFE).

Usage

areaovate(expr, P, simpver = NULL,  
          subdivisions = 100L,
          rel.tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25, 
          abs.tol = rel.tol, stop.on.error = TRUE, 
          keep.xy = FALSE, aux = NULL)

Value

The area of two symmetrical curves along the \(x\)-axis generated by a performance equation or one of its simplified versions.

Arguments

expr

a performance equation or one of its simplified versions.

P

the parameters of the performance equation or one of its simplified versions.

simpver

an optional argument to use the simplfied version of the performance equation.

Details

The performance equations denote MbetaE, MBriereE, MLRFE, and their simplified versions. The arguments of P and simpver should correspond to expr (i.e., MbetaE or MBriereE or MLRFE).
