MLM {betafunctions} | R Documentation |
Most Likely Mean of the Standard Beta Probability Density Distribution, Given that the Observation is Considered the Most Likely Observation of the Standard Beta Probability Density Distribution (i.e., the mode).
Description
Assuming a prior Standard (two-parameter) Beta Distribution, returns the expected mean of the distribution under the assumption that the observed value is the most likely value of the distribution.
Usage
MLM(alpha, beta, x = NULL, n = NULL)
Arguments
alpha |
Observed alpha value for fitted Standard Beta Probability Density Distribution. |
beta |
Observed beta value for fitted Standard Beta Probability Density Distribution. |
x |
Observed proportion-correct outcome. |
n |
Test-length. |
Value
The expected mean of the Standard Beta probability density distribution, for which the observed mean is the most likely value.
Examples
# Assuming a prior Standard (two-parameter) Beta distribution is fit, which
# yield an alpha parameter of 10 and a beta parameter of 8, calculate the
# true-mean most likely to have produced the observations:
MLM(a = 10, b = 8)
