In hunansona/ed4bhm: Empirical Determinacy for Bayesian Hierarchical Models

The location (L) part of the Bhattacharyya coefficient (BC) between two normal densities

Description

Computes the Bhattacharyya coefficient (the location-part) between two normal densities with means mb and mw and standard deviations sdb and sdw.

Usage

D_BCL(mb, sdb, mw, sdw)

Arguments

mb	mean of the first (base) normal density
sdb	standard deviation of the first (base) normal density
mw	mean of the second (weighted) normal density
sdw	standard deviation of the second (weighted) normal density

Details

The function returns the location (L) part of the BC under normal approximation. The L part is adjusted for standard deviations which corresponds to the Mahalanobis distance.

Value

A numeric value
