Description
A Function to Estimate a Normal Distribution from Credible or Confidence Intervals
Usage
estimate_norm_dist_from_ci(
lower_interval = NULL,
upper_interval = NULL,
interval = "95%"
)
Arguments
lower_interval |
Numeric, the lower CI. |
upper_interval |
Numeric, the upper CI |
interval |
A character string indicating the percentage interval the CI represents. |
Value
A dataframe containing the mean and standard deviation of the normal distribution summarised by the provided CI's.
Examples
## Run function to estimate normal distribution for a 95% CI of 1, to 2
df <- estimate_norm_dist_from_ci(1,2)
## Check
x <- rnorm(10000, df$mean, df$sd)
quantile(x, c(0.025, 0.975))
