above_ul: Calculate percent of population at risk of adverse effects

In cfree14/nutriR: Nutritional intake functions for R

Calculate percent of population at risk of adverse effects

Description

This function calculates the percent of a population whose habitual intake is above the Tolerable Upper Limit (UL) and are therefore at risk of adverse effects.

Usage

above_ul(ul, shape = NULL, rate = NULL, meanlog = NULL, sdlog = NULL, plot = F)

Arguments

ul	Tolerable Upper Limit (UL)
shape	Shape parameter for gamma distribution
rate	Rate parameter for gamma distribution
meanlog	Mean parameter for gamma distribution
sdlog	Standard deviation parameter for gamma distribution
plot	Boolean (TRUE/FALSE) indicating whether to plot the distributions relative to the EAR

Value

The percent of a population at risk of adverse effects

Examples

above_ul(ul=11, shape=9.5, rate=1.3, plot=T)
above_ul(ul=11, meanlog=1.9, sdlog=0.3, plot=T)
above_ul(ul=13, meanlog=1.9, sdlog=0.3, plot=T)
