get_posterior_param {dupiR}

Compute posterior probability distribution parameters (e.g. credible intervals) for an object of class Counts

Description

This function computes posterior parameters and credible intervals at the given confidence level (default to 95%).

Usage

get_posterior_param(object, low = 0.025, up = 0.975, ...)

Arguments

object

object of class Counts

low

1 - right tail posterior probability

up

left tail posterior probability

...

additional parameters to be passed to plot_posterior

Value

an object of class Counts

Examples

counts <- new_counts(counts = c(20,30), fractions = c(0.075, 0.10))

# default parameters ("dup" algorithm, sampling without replacement, default prior support)
