stat.sorting: Compute sorting coefficient from cumulative distribution data

In dtavern/grainsizeR: Extract And Analyze Grain Size Distributions

Description

Compute sorting coefficient from cumulative distribution data

Usage

stat.sorting(sieve_size, cumu, units = "phi", method = "all")

Arguments

sieve_size	vector of sieve sizes related to input cumulative distribution
cumu	cumulative distribution pertaining to sieve sizes
units	sieve size units "phi" = phi scale, "mm" = milimeter (metric) scale
method	Method to calculate sorting coefficient. Only algebraic methods available. "inm" = Inman, 1952. Algebraic method using central values; "fw" = Folk and Ward, 1957. Algebraic method to account for tail values. "all" = dataframe output with above calculations.

Value

a value or dataframe containing specified sorting coefficients.
