pctCen: Calculate the percentage of values censored

In NADA: Nondetects and Data Analysis for Environmental Data

Calculate the percentage of values censored

Description

pctCen is a simple, but convenient, function that calculates the percentage of censored values.

Usage

pctCen(obs, censored, na.action)

Arguments

obs	A numeric vector of observations. This includes both censored and uncensored observations.
censored	A logical vector indicating TRUE where an observation in v is censored (a less-than value) and FALSE otherwise.
na.action	A function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. The default is set by the na.action setting of options, and is na.omit if that is unset. Another possible value is NULL, no action.

Details

100*(length(obs[censored])/length(obs))

Value

pctCen returns a single numeric value representing the percentage of values censored in the “obs" vector.
