Estimate uncertainty estimates from high/low range

Estimate uncertainty (plus/minus values) from a range of values

estimateUncertaintyFromRange(
  L,
  range.1 = NA,
  range.2 = NA,
  paleo.or.chron = "chronData",
  sigma.range = 2,
  meas.table.num = 1,
  paleo.or.chron.num = 1
)

Arguments

L

A LiPD object - an R serialization of a single LiPD file. It's a list, and is typically created by `readLipd()`

range.1

name of one of the range variables

range.2

name of the other range variable

paleo.or.chron

"paleoData" or "chronData"

sigma.range

what sigma range are the measurement uncertainties (default is 2)

meas.table.num

an integer that corresponds to paleo.num measurementTable has the variable you want?

paleo.or.chron.num

an integer that corresponds to paleo.num or chron Data object (L$<paleo.or.chron>[[?]]) has the variable you want?

Value

MT: a LiPD measurementTable with a new unc.estimate variable
