Estimate Statistics
Description
Support function for computing statistics for left-censored data using the
maximum likelihood method (Helsel and Cohn, 1988).
Usage
mdlMLE(x, method = "MLE", alpha = 0.4)
Arguments
x
the data to estimate, Missing values permitted and ignored.
Must be an object of class "lcens," a numeric vector, or the output from censpp.
method
the method to use, either "MLE" or "log MLE."
alpha
the offset for plotting position, used to compute the filled in values.
Value
A list containing the mean and standard deviation, filled in
values for the censored values, and the censored levels. If method
is "log MLE," then the list also contains the mean and standard deviation of the
natural log-transformed values computed by maximum likelihood.
