DatesHiatus {RChronoModel}R Documentation

Test for the existence of a hiatus between two parameters

Description

Finds if it exists a gap between two dates that is the longest interval that satisfies : P(a_chain < IntervalInf < IntervalSup < b_chain | M) = level

Usage

DatesHiatus(a_chain, b_chain, level=0.95)

Arguments

a_chain

numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the first one-parameter (date) a

b_chain

numeric vector containing the output of the same MCMC algorithm for the second one-parameter (date) b

level

probability corresponding to the level of confidence used for the credible interval and the highest density region

Value

Returns the endpoints of the longest hiatus between two parameters
