betafunctions (version 1.8.1)

MLM: Most Likely Mean of the Standard Beta PDD, Given that the Observation is Considered the Most Likely Observation of the Standard Beta PDD (i.e., the mode).

Description

Assuming a prior Standard (two-parameter) Beta Distribution, returns the expected mean of the distribution under the assumption that the observed value is the most likely value of the distribution.

Usage

MLM(alpha, beta, x = NULL, n = NULL)

Value

The expected mean of the Standard Beta probability density distribution, for which the observed mean is the most likely value.

Arguments

alpha

Observed alpha value for fitted Standard Beta PDD.

beta

Observed beta value for fitted Standard Beta PDD.

x

Observed proportion-correct outcome.

n

Test-length.

Examples

Run this code
# Assuming a prior Standard (two-parameter) Beta distribution is fit, which
# yield an alpha parameter of 10 and a beta parameter of 8, calculate the
# true-mean most likely to have produced the observations:
MLM(a = 10, b = 8)
