VOI {MSEtool}

Calculate Value Of Information

Description

A function that relates operating model parameters and parameters of the observation model to yield (by default). A user can also specific their own utility values (Ut) which is arranged in a matrix of nsim rows and nMP columns.

Usage

VOI(
  MSEobj,
  ncomp = 6,
  nbins = 8,
  maxrow = 8,
  Ut = NA,
  Utnam = "Utility",
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

MSEobj

An object of class MSE

ncomp

Maximum number of variables to examine per MP

nbins

Number of percentile bins for sampled parameters of the operating model or observation model, which is used for calculating variability in utility across the sampled range of each parameter

maxrow

maximum number of MPs per plot

Ut

A matrix of user-specified utility values of nsim rows and nMPs columns

Utnam

The name of the utility measure for plotting

plot

Logical. Show the plot?
