add_Rule: Add a Rule to a Rule Book

In sandbox: Probabilistic Numerical Modelling of Sediment Properties

Add a Rule to a Rule Book

Description

The function adds a new rule to an existing rule book. The specified rule will be appended to the rule book.

Usage

add_Rule(book, name, group, type, populations = 1)

Arguments

book	character value, name of the rule book to be modified.
name	character value, name of the rule to be added.
group	character value, group to which the rule belongs. One out of "general" (covering the sediment section properties) and "specific" (relevant for a single grain).
type	character value, generic type of the rule. One out of "exact" (defined by exact value, changing with depth), "normal" (normal distribution, defined by mean and standard deviation, changing with depth), "uniform" (defined by minimum and maximum values, changing with depth) and "gamma" (gamma distribution, defined by shape and scale parameter and constant offset, all changing with depth)
populations	numeric value, number of populations to create. The number of populations to add should match the existing number of populations.

Value

A list object with all rules for a model run.
