effCont_bks function

Continuous Effectiveness as Beta Kernel-smoothed Distribution.

Fits a bounded kernel-smoothed distribution to the given sample of scores. In particular, the beta kernel by Chen (1999) is used, as in Chen99Kernel.

effCont_bks(x)

Arguments

• x: a sample of effectiveness scores between 0 and 1.

Returns

an object of class eff.cont.bks, which inherits from eff.cont.

Examples

e <- effCont_bks(web2010ap[,1])
c(e$mean, e$var)
plot(e, plot.data = TRUE)
