The function will estimate the probability of success and phi parameter using the maximum log likelihood method for the Lovinson Multiplicative Binomial distribution when the binomial random variables and corresponding frequencies are given.

EstMLELMBin(x,freq,p,phi,...)

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

freq

vector of frequencies.

p

single value for probability of success.

phi

single value for phi parameter.

...

mle2 function inputs except data and estimating parameter.

Value

EstMLELMBin here is used as a wrapper for the mle2 function of bbmle package therefore output is of class of mle2.

Details

$$freq \ge 0$$ $$x = 0,1,2,..$$ $$0 < p < 1$$ $$0 < phi $$
