probcont2disc: Converts continuous probability values into binned discrete probability forecasts.

Description

Converts continuous probability values into binned discrete probability forecasts. This is useful in calculated Brier type scores for values with continuous probabilities. Each probability is assigned the value of the midpoint.

Usage

probcont2disc(x, bins = seq(0,1,0.1) )

Value

A vector of discrete probabilities. E

Arguments

x

A vector of probabilities

bins

Bins. Defaults to 0 to 1 by 0.1 .

Examples

#  probabilistic/ binary example

set.seed(1)
x <- runif(10) ## simulated probabilities.

probcont2disc(x)
probcont2disc(x, bins = seq(0,1,0.25) )

## probcont2disc(4, bins = seq(0,1,0.3)) ## gets error
