Package options

ananke uses the following options() to configure behavior:

  • ananke.grid: a numeric value specifying the number of equally spaced points at which densities are to be estimated (defaults to 512). Should be a power of 2 (see stats::density()).

  • ananke.round: a character string specifying the rounding convention. It can be one of "none" (the default, no rounding) or "stuiver" (Stuiver & Polach, 1977).

  • ananke.progress: a logical scalar. Should progress bars be displayed? Defaults to interactive().
