fitBetaCorrBin: Fitting the Beta-Correlated Binomial Distribution when binomial random variable, frequency, covariance, alpha and beta parameters are given

Description

The function will fit the Beta-Correlated Binomial Distribution when random variables, corresponding frequencies, covariance, alpha and beta parameters are given. It will provide the expected frequencies, chi-squared test statistics value, p value, and degree of freedom so that it can be seen if this distribution fits the data.

Usage

fitBetaCorrBin(x,obs.freq,cov,a,b)

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

obs.freq

vector of frequencies.

cov

single value for covariance.

a

single value for alpha parameter.

b

single value for beta parameter.

Value

The output of fitBetaCorrBin gives the class format fitBCB and fit consisting a list

bin.ran.var binomial random variables.

obs.freq corresponding observed frequencies.

exp.freq corresponding expected frequencies.

statistic chi-squared test statistics.

df degree of freedom.

p.value probability value by chi-squared test statistic

corr Correlation value.

fitBCB fitted probability values of dBetaCorrBin.

NegLL Negative Log Likelihood value.

a estimated shape parameter value a.

b estimated shape parameter value b.

cov estimated covariance value.

AIC AIC value.

call the inputs of the function.

Methods summary, print, AIC, residuals and fitted can be used to extract specific outputs.

Details

$$obs.freq \ge 0$$ $$x = 0,1,2,..$$ $$-\infty < cov < +\infty$$ $$0 < a,b$$

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
