Evaluate the expert's density (or cdf)

Description

Evaluate the density or cdf of an SEL object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'SEL'
predict(object, newdata = seq(object$bounds[1],
      object$bounds[2], length = 101), type = c("density", "cdf"), deriv, ...)

Arguments

object

An SEL object.

newdata

Where to evaluate the distribution.

type

Examples

# example from O'Hagan et al. (2006)
x <- c(177.5, 183.75, 190, 205, 220)
y <- c(0.175, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 0.95)

default   <- SEL(x, y, Delta = 0.05, bounds = c(165, 250))
predict(default, newdata = c(200, 205))
