Calculate Value Of Information

Description

A function that relates operating model parameters and parameters of the observation model to yield (by default). A user can also specific their own utility values (Ut) which is arranged in a matrix of nsim rows and nMP columns.

Usage

VOI(
  MSEobj,
  ncomp = 6,
  nbins = 8,
  maxrow = 8,
  Ut = NA,
  Utnam = "Utility",
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

`MSEobj`	An object of class MSE
`ncomp`	Maximum number of variables to examine per MP
`nbins`	Number of percentile bins for sampled parameters of the operating model or observation model, which is used for calculating variability in utility across the sampled range of each parameter
`maxrow`	maximum number of MPs per plot
`Ut`	A matrix of user-specified utility values of nsim rows and nMPs columns
`Utnam`	The name of the utility measure for plotting
`plot`	Logical. Show the plot?
