calc.ece: Empirical cross-entropy (ECE) calculation
In jmcurran/comparison: Multivariate Likelihood Ratio Calculation and Evaluation

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Calculates the empirical cross-entropy (ECE) for likelihood ratios from a sequence same and different item comparisons.

1	calc.ece(LR.ss, LR.ds, prior = seq(from = 0.01, to = 0.99, length = 99))

`LR.ss`	a vector of likelihood ratios (LRs) from same source calculations
`LR.ds`	a vector of LRs from different source calculations
`prior`	a vector of ordinates for the prior in ascending order, and between 0 and 1. Default is 99 divisions of 0.01 to 0.99.

Acknowledgements

The function to calculate the values of the likelihood ratio for the calibrated.set draws heavily upon the opt_loglr.m function from Niko Brummer's FoCal package for Matlab.

Returns an S3 object of class ece
