reliability: Probability of outperforming a check

Description

Measures the precision of estimated values, and the potential response to selection on those estimated values compared to a check

Usage

reliability(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
reliability(x, y = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for PlackettLuce
reliability(x, ref, ...)
# S3 method for pltree
reliability(x, ref, ...)

Value

the reliability based on the worth parameters

Arguments

x

a numeric vector, or an object of class PlackettLuce or pltree

...

additional arguments passed to methods

y

numeric, the reference value

ref

a character or integer for indexing the element containing reference values in x
