Functions for Working with Two- And Four-Parameter Beta Probability Distributions
Package providing a number of functions for working with the Two- and Four-
parameter Beta distributions, including alternative parameterizations and calculation
of moments. Includes functions for estimating classification accuracy, diagnostic
performance and consistency, using what's known as the Livingston and Lewis approach
in the educational-measurement literature as the base method.
