B1Nmean function

Bayesian analysis of one sample from a Normal distribution with imprecise priors.

This function performs a standard Bayesian analysis of a single sample of a population presumably following a Normal distribution. Imprecise priors for the mean and the standard deviation are used.

B1Nmean(x, plotit = TRUE, hists = FALSE, pdf = FALSE)

Arguments

• x: a vector of sample values
• plotit: should the function produce plots? Defaults to TRUE.
• hists: should histograms of the posterior distribution for the data with twenty posterior predictive histograms also be plotted? Defaults to FALSE.
• pdf: should the histograms be saved as a pdf-file? Defaults to FALSE.

Returns

none produced: text and graphical output are produced
