VOI: Calculate Value Of Information

In MSEtool: Management Strategy Evaluation Toolkit

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?
