R Documentation

T-statistic for layer boundary determination

Description

Calculates the T-statistic and Cohen's d effect size for a perforation log. The coefficient is used to find layer boundaries in a perforation log.

Usage

T_stat(data, k = 6)

Arguments

`data`	A data frame containing the depth of perforation in the first column, and the value of interest in the second column
`k`	The window length for the number of data points to include in the calculation of T-statistic. Always and even (par) number. Larger values make the resulting statistic smoother

Details

The example data given is intended to show the structure needed for input data. The user should follow this structure, which in general corresponds with a data frame with a sequence in the first column and the observed/measured values in the second column

Value

ggplot and plotly objects showing the Cohen's d statistic and lines marking the Cohen's U3 values for 0.95, 0.99, and 0.999, and suggested boundaries
