makepbox(x...)

Returns an array of pboxes from an array of inputs (eg an array of intervals or reals).

Examples

julia> s = makepbox.(array)
3-element Vector{pbox}:
 Pbox: 	  ~  ( range=[0.0, 1.0], mean=[0.0, 1.0], var=[0.0, 0.25])
 Pbox: 	  ~  ( range=[0.0, 2.0], mean=[0.0, 2.0], var=[0.0, 1.0])
 Pbox: 	  ~  ( range=3.0, mean=3.0, var=0.0)
