expected.nb

Size parameter of the Negative Binomial distribution

The mean of the Negative Binomial distribution per transect

The number of positive counts before segment counting is stopped


The function is used to obtain the method of moments estimator within the function <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/GVFCMOM?package=emon&version=1.3" data-mini-rdoc="emon::GVFCMOM">GVFCMOM</a></code>.<p></p><p>Calculates the expected value of the Visual Fast Count method.
The function assumes that the count per segment is Negative Binomial with mean <code>m/s</code> and size <code>k</code>,
and that segment counts are independent. The expected value is also a function of the number of positives
<code>d</code> before segment counting is stopped.

expected.nb function


The function is used to obtain the method of moments estimator within the function <code><a rd-options='' href='GVFCMOM'>GVFCMOM</a></code>.

Calculates the expected value of the Visual Fast Count method.
The function assumes that the count per segment is Negative Binomial with mean <code>m/s</code> and size <code>k</code>,
and that segment counts are independent. The expected value is also a function of the number of positives
