Est.PI {HMP}

Estimate the Pi Vector

Description

Calculates Dirichlet-Multinomial parameters for every group using Maximum Likelihood and Method of Moments estimates: Taxa proportion estimates (PI vector) with standard errors and Confidence intervals, as well as theta values with standard errors.

Usage

Est.PI(group.data, conf = .95)

Arguments

group.data

A list of matrices of taxonomic counts(columns) for each sample(rows).

conf

The desired confidence limits. The default is 95%

Value

A list containing the parameters: PI, SE and the upper/lower bounds of the confidence interval for every taxa, and the theta values with standard errors for both MLE and MOM.

Examples

	## Not run: 
		data(saliva)
		data(throat)
		data(tonsils)
		
		### Combine the data sets into a single list
		group.data <- list(saliva, throat, tonsils)
		
		### Get PI using MLE and MOM with CI
		piEsts <- Est.PI(group.data)
		
		mle <- piEsts$MLE
		mom <- piEsts$MOM
