In evidence: Analysis of Scientific Evidence Using Bayesian and Likelihood Methods

Description

This function performs a standard Bayesian analysis of a single sample of a population presumably following a Normal distribution. Imprecise priors for the mean and the standard deviation are used.

Usage

B1Nmean(x, plotit = TRUE, hists = FALSE, pdf = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a vector of sample values
plotit	should the function produce plots? Defaults to TRUE.
hists	should histograms of the posterior distribution for the data with twenty posterior predictive histograms also be plotted? Defaults to FALSE.
pdf	should the histograms be saved as a pdf-file? Defaults to FALSE.

Value
