Summarize results of mortality estimate splits

Description

Mortality estimates can be calculated for the various levels of splitting covariates such as season, species, or visibility class using calcSplits, which gives full arrays of simulated M estimates (i.e., for each level of each splitting covariate, each discovered carcass, and each simulation draw). summary(splits, CL = 0.90, ...) gives summary statistics of the estimates.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'splitFull'
summary(object, CL = 0.9, ...)

Arguments

object

A splitFull object (calcSplits) that gives simulated mortality estimates for all combinations of levels of 1 or 2 splitting covariates.

CL

desired confidence level for summary CIs (numeric scalar in (0, 1))

...

to be passed down

Value

an object of class splitSummary, which gives 5-number summaries for all combinations of levels among the splitting covariates in the splits. The 5-number summaries include the mean and alpha/2, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 - alpha/2 quantiles of mortality estimates, where alpha = 1 - CL. A graphical representation of the results can be produced using plot(splits, CL, ...). For splits along CO covariates, the levels are organized alphabetically (but with numeric suffixes appearing in numeric order, e.g., "t1", "t2", "t10" rather than "t1", "t10", "t2").
