## S3 method for class 'BBest'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object	a BBest class model.

Details

summary.BBest summarizes all the relevant information about the estimation of the parameters in a BBest class model.

Value

summary.BBest returns an object of class "summary.BBest".

coefficients	a table with the estimated parameters is in the BBest class model.
p.coefficients	a summarized table of the estimation of the probability parameter of the beta-binomial distribution. The table contents the estimation of the probability parameter and the standard errors of the estimations.
psi.coefficients	a summarized table of the estimation of the logarithm of the dispersion parameter of the beta-binomial distribution. The table contents the estimation of the logarithm of the dispersion parameter and the standard errors of the estimations.
