EstMLEGHGBB.Rd
The function will estimate the shape parameters using the maximum log likelihood method for the Gaussian Hypergeometric Generalized Beta Binomial distribution when the binomial random variables and corresponding frequencies are given.
EstMLEGHGBB(x,freq,a,b,c,...)
x | vector of binomial random variables. |
---|---|
freq | vector of frequencies. |
a | single value for shape parameter alpha representing a. |
b | single value for shape parameter beta representing b. |
c | single value for shape parameter lambda representing c. |
... | mle2 function inputs except data and estimating parameter. |
EstMLEGHGBB
here is used as a wrapper for the mle2
function of
bbmle package therefore output is of class of mle2.
$$0 < a,b,c$$ $$x = 0,1,2,...$$ $$freq \ge 0$$
NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
