Functions for Working with Two- And Four-Parameter Beta Probability Distributions
Package providing a number of functions for working with Two- and
Four-parameter Beta distributions, including alternative parameterizations,
calculation of moments, and fitting of Beta distributions to vectors of
values. Also includes functions for estimating classification accuracy,
diagnostic performance and consistency, using what is generally known as
the "Livingston and Lewis approach" in the psychometric literature as the
foundational method, which makes extensive use of the Beta distribution.
