optimal.prob: Returns an estimate of the fundamental biodiversity number
Description
Returns a maximum likelihood estimate for the fundamental biodiversity
number $\theta$ (function optimal.theta()) or the
probability of mutation (function optimal.prob()) and optionally
return information about the likely error
Bracketing interval for probability of mutation to be
passed to the optimization routine (here optimize()).
Default of NULL means to use a wide interval. Note that this
argument is interpreted as an interval of
N
Integer; the number of parametric resampled estimates to
give. Default of NULL means to return just the maximum
likelihood estimate
like
Units of likelihood to calculate credible interval.
