fitMultiBin {fitODBOD}

Fitting the Multiplicative Binomial Distribution when binomial random variable, frequency, probability of success and theta parameter are given

Description

The function will fit the Multiplicative Binomial distribution when random variables, corresponding frequencies, probability of success and theta parameter are given. It will provide the expected frequencies, chi-squared test statistics value, p value and degree of freedom value so that it can be seen if this distribution fits the data.

Usage

fitMultiBin(x,obs.freq,p,theta)

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

obs.freq

vector of frequencies.

p

single value for probability of success.

theta

single value for theta parameter.

Details

obs.freq \ge 0

x = 0,1,2,..

0 < p < 1

0 < theta

Value

The output of fitMultiBin gives the class format fitMuB and fit consisting a list

bin.ran.var binomial random variables.

obs.freq corresponding observed frequencies.

exp.freq corresponding expected frequencies.

statistic chi-squared test statistics.

df degree of freedom.

p.value probability value by chi-squared test statistic.

fitMuB fitted probability values of dMultiBin.

NegLL Negative Log Likelihood value.

p estimated probability value.

theta estimated theta parameter value.

AIC AIC value.

call the inputs of the function.

Methods summary, print, AIC, residuals and fitted can be used to extract specific outputs.
