Calculate Value Of Information — VOI • MSEtool Functions

A function that relates operating model parameters and parameters of the observation model to yield (by default). A user can also specific their own utility values (Ut) which is arranged in a matrix of nsim rows and nMP columns.

Usage

VOI(
  MSEobj,
  ncomp = 6,
  nbins = 8,
  maxrow = 8,
  Ut = NA,
  Utnam = "Utility",
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

MSEobj: An object of class MSE
ncomp: Maximum number of variables to examine per MP
nbins: Number of percentile bins for sampled parameters of the operating model or observation model, which is used for calculating variability in utility across the sampled range of each parameter
maxrow: maximum number of MPs per plot
Ut: A matrix of user-specified utility values of nsim rows and nMPs columns
Utnam: The name of the utility measure for plotting
plot: Logical. Show the plot?
