mv.SM {CLAST}

Mean value of upper limits.

Description

Calculates mean value of a provided vector of upper limits as a function of p

Usage

mv.SM(obj, lims = NULL, p = NULL, B = 99, offset = TRUE, wgt = TRUE)

Arguments

obj

list with components $S, $N, $count and optionally $lims, typically the output of sample.space.SM

lims

if not a component of obj

p

vector of values of p at which to calculate mean value

B

number of evenly spaced values of p if not provided

offset

if TRUE then ML mean value is subtracted

wgt

if TRUE than assign zero probability weight to extreme limits of 1 or 0.

Value

list with elements $x (containing grid of B values of probability) and $y (containing corresponding mean values)
