bayes_nlg {serieslcb}

Bayesian method (Negative Log Gamma Prior)

Description

Caclulate a binomal series lower confidence bound using Bayes' method with negative log gamma priors on the components, defined such that the prior on the system is a uniform distribution.

Usage

bayes_nlg(s, n, alpha, MonteCarlo, ...)

Arguments

s

Vector of successes.

n

Vector of sample sizes.

alpha

The significance level; to calculate a 100(1-\alpha)% lower confidence bound.

MonteCarlo

Number of samples to draw from the posterior distribution for the Monte Carlo estimate.

...

Additional arguments to be ignored.

Value

The 100(1-\alpha)% lower confidence bound.

Examples

bayes_nlg(s=c(35, 97, 59), n=c(35, 100, 60), alpha=.10, MonteCarlo=1000)
