harrison.priors: Ranges of analytes in soybean from other authors

In kwstat/agridat: Agricultural Datasets

Ranges of analytes in soybean from other authors

Description

Ranges of analytes in soybean from other authors

Format

A data frame with 80 observations on the following 5 variables.

source

Source document

substance

Analyte substance

min

minimum amount (numeric)

max

maximum analyte amount (numeric)

number

number of substances

Details

Harrison et al. show how to construct an informative Bayesian prior from previously-published ranges of concentration for several analytes.

The units for daidzein, genistein, and glycitein are micrograms per gram.

The raffinose and stachyose units were converted to a common 'percent' scale.

The author names in the 'source' variable are shortened forms of the citations in the supplemental information of Harrison et al.

# Harrison 2012 Example 4: Common prior distribution
# Harrison uses the minimum and maximum levels of daidzein from previous
# studies as the first and last order statistics of a lognormal
# distribution, and finds the best-fit lognormal distribution.
