gamma_rate_one_sample {LRTesteR}R Documentation

Test the rate parameter of a gamma distribution.

Description

Test the rate parameter of a gamma distribution.

Usage

gamma_rate_one_sample(x, rate, alternative = "two.sided", conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of at least 50 data values.

rate

a number indicating the tested value of the rate parameter.

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less".

conf.level

confidence level of the likelihood interval.

Value
