KrigInv (version 1.4.2)

excursion_probability: Excursion probability with one or many thresholds

Description

Probability that Gaussian random variables with some mean and variance are over a threshold T, or in an union of intervals. If T is a vector of size p, T1,T2,...,Tp then the considered union of interval is (T1,T2) U ... U (Tp, +infty) if p is odd, and (T1,T2) U ... U (Tp-1, Tp) if p is even.

Usage

excursion_probability(mn,sn,T)

Value

Array of size k containing the k excursion probabilities.

Arguments

mn

Array of size k containing the expectations of the Gaussian random variables.

sn

Array of size k containing the standard deviations of the Gaussian random variables.

T

Array containing one or several thresholds.
