Blondeau Da Silva's values
Description
The function returns Blondeau Da Silva's probability that a figure is at a given position (once the associated lower and upper bounds have been specified) and, if requested, the associated standard deviation.
Usage
Blon.val(lwbound = 10^(dig - 1), upbound, fig, dig = 1, sd = 0)
Arguments
lwbound |
A positive integer, which characterizes the data. All (or most) of the data are greater than this "lower bound". |
upbound |
A positive integer, which characterizes the data. All (or most) of the data are lower than this "upper bound". |
fig |
The considered figure. |
dig |
The chosen position of the digit (from the left). |
sd |
If sd=0, only the probability is returned. Else, the function returns a dataframe containing the probability and the standard deviation of the expected digit frequency. |
Value
The function returns Blondeau Da Silva's probability and, if requested, its standard deviation.
