In ppernot/ErrViewLib: Library for ErrView

Generate intervals for local statistics

Description

Generate intervals for local statistics

Usage

genIntervals(
  X,
  nBin = 20,
  slide = FALSE,
  equiPop = TRUE,
  popMin = 30,
  logBin = TRUE
)

Arguments

X	(integer or vector) if integer: size of set to partition, if vector: ordered set of values to bin
nBin	(integer) number of contiguous intervals
slide	(logical) generate contiguous intervals (default 'slide = FALSE') or generate intervals from a sliding window
equiPop	(logical) generate intervals with equal bin counts (default: 'equiPop = TRUE')
popMin	(integer) minimal bin count in an interval
logBin	(logical) if 'equiPop = FALSE', one can choose between equal range intervals, or equal log-range intervals (default 'logBin = TRUE')

Value

A list with 'nbr' the number of intervals, 'lwindx' and 'upindx', vectors of indices for the first and last point of each interval 'pop' a vector of bin counts, 'msg' an error message and the configuration parameters: 'slide', 'equiPop', 'popMin' and 'logBin'

Examples

  uE  = sqrt(rchisq(1000, df = 4))  # Re-scale uncertainty
  int = genIntervals(uE,20) # Generate 20 bins with equal counts
