Estimating the shape parameters c and l for Gamma Binomial distribution
Description
The function will estimate the shape parameters using the maximum log likelihood method for the Gamma Binomial distribution when the binomial random variables and corresponding frequencies are given.
Usage
EstMLEGammaBin(x,freq,c,l,...)
Arguments
x |
vector of binomial random variables. |
freq |
vector of frequencies. |
c |
single value for shape parameter c. |
l |
single value for shape parameter l. |
... |
mle2 function inputs except data and estimating parameter. |
Details
0 < c,l
x = 0,1,2,...
freq \ge 0
NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
Value
EstMLEGammaBin
here is used as a wrapper for the mle2
function of bbmle package
therefore output is of class of mle2.

Examples
No.D.D <- 0:7 #assigning the random variables
Obs.fre.1 <- c(47,54,43,40,40,41,39,95) #assigning the corresponding frequencies
#estimating the parameters using maximum log likelihood value and assigning it
parameters <- EstMLEGammaBin(x=No.D.D,freq=Obs.fre.1,c=0.1,l=0.1)
