The function will estimate the mode value using the maximum log likelihood method for the Triangular Binomial Distribution when the binomial random variables and corresponding frequencies are given.

Usage

EstMLETriBin(x,freq)

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

freq

vector of frequencies.

Value

The output of EstMLETriBin will produce the classes of ml and mlTB

format consisting

min Negative log likelihood value.

mode Estimated mode value.

AIC AIC value.

call the inputs for the function.

Methods print, summary, coef and AIC can be used to extract specific outputs.

Details

$$0 < mode=c < 1$$ $$x = 0,1,2,...$$ $$freq \ge 0$$

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
