signifig

This function reports the significant figures of a given <code>mean</code> together
with its respective <code>error</code> term (for instance confidence interval or
standard deviation).

Small toolbox for data analyses in environmental chemistry and
ecotoxicology. Provides, for example, calibration() to calculate calibration
curves and corresponding limits of detection (LODs) and  limits of
quantification (LOQs) according to German DIN 32645 (2008). texture() makes
it easy to estimate soil particle size distributions from hydrometer
measurements (ASTM D422-63, 2007).

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>a numeric vector or data frame object containing the averaged
values.</dd>
<dt>error</dt>
<dd>a numeric vector or data frame object containing the respective
error terms.</dd>
<dt>data</dt>
<dd>a data frame containing the specified columns. If empty, <code>x</code>
and <code>error</code> need to be given as numeric vectors.</dd>
<dt>style</dt>
<dd>a string specifying the output style to be used. The default
style <code>"pm"</code> reports the results as "3 ± 6", while <code>"par"</code> results
in outputs like "0.26 (0.02)". "siunitx" returns "0.26 (2)" which might be
used together with xtable for automated LaTeX table outputs.</dd>

<dd>an integer controlling to which significant digit the mean
value should be rounded if the error is zero or no error data was provided.</dd>
