The minimax family distributions is a two-parameter with support
[0,1]. It has properties very like the beta family, though is
computationally much more tractible. Both beta and minimax families
have the uniform(0,1) distribution as a special case. For the minimax
family, this is the default case.
This package provides the standard four functions for handling the
distribution in R
using the standard prefix naming convention.
The functions are vectorized with respect to the arguments x
,
y
, a
, and b
, with short arguments recycled to
match the length of any longer ones.
