the number of observations. If <code>length(n)</code> &gt; 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

the mean parameter. It must lie in (0, 1).

the precision parameter. It must be a positive real value.

the mixing weight. It must lie in (0, 1).

the normalized distance among clusters. It must lie in (0, 1).

The function randomly generates values from the flexible beta distribution.

Functions to fit regression models for bounded responses (e.g., proportions and rates) and binomial data. Available models are the flexible beta (Migliorati, S., Di Brisco, A. M., Ongaro, A. (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-BA1079>), the variance-inflated beta (Di Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S., Ongaro, A. (2020) <doi:10.1177/1471082X18821213>), the beta (Ferrari, S.L.P., and Cribari-Neto, F. (2004) <doi:10.1080/0266476042000214501>), the flexible beta-binomial (Ascari, R. and Migliorati, S. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9005>), the beta-binomial, and the binomial one. Inference is dealt with a Bayesian approach based on the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm (Gelman, A.; Carlin, J. B.; Stern, H. S. and Rubin, D. B. (2014) <doi:10.1201/b16018>). Besides, functions to compute residuals, posterior predictives, goodness-of-fit measures, convergence diagnostics, and graphical representations are provided.
