studentMetaMean: Compute a weighted average of the specified distributions

In mkuhn/StudentMetaMean: Calculate Weighted Mean of Student's t Distributions

Description

Compute a weighted average of the specified distributions

Usage

studentMetaMean(design = NULL, means = NULL, sigmas = NULL, nus = NULL,
  min_sigma = 0.01)

Arguments

design	A matrix with the named columns mean, sigma, and nu. Can be omitted, if the following three parameters are supplied.
means	Vector of means
sigmas	Vector of sigmas
nus	Vector of nus
min_sigma	Minimum sigma of resulting distribution when all means are very close together

Value

A list with the following values:

• xmin effective lower end of probality distribution

• xmax effective upper end of probality distribution

• mean weighted mean

• pMerged combined probability distribution

• likelihood_functions the individual likelihood function for the supplied distributions
