PhasesGap: Gap or Hiatus between two successive phases (for phases in...

In RChronoModel: Post-Processing of the Markov Chain Simulated by ChronoModel or Oxcal

Description

This function finds, if it exists, the gap between two successive phases. This gap or hiatus is the longest interval [IntervalInf ; IntervalSup] that satisfies : P(Phase1Max_chain < IntervalInf < IntervalSup < Phase2Min_chain | M) = level.

Usage

PhasesGap(Phase1Max_chain, Phase2Min_chain, level = 0.95,
  max_decimal = 0)

Arguments

Phase1Max_chain	numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the maximum of the dates included in the oldest phase
Phase2Min_chain	numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the minimum of the dates included in the youngest phase
level	probability corresponding to the level of confidence
max_decimal	maximum number of decimal

Value

Returns a vector of values containing the level of confidence and the endpoints of the gap between the successive phases
