In LearnBayes: Functions for Learning Bayesian Inference

Description

Computes a highest probability interval for a discrete probability distribution

Usage

discint(dist, prob)

Arguments

dist	probability distribution written as a matrix where the first column contain the values and the second column the probabilities
prob	probability content of interest

Value

prob	exact probability content of interval
set	set of values of the probability interval

Examples

x=0:10
probs=dbinom(x,size=10,prob=.3)
dist=cbind(x,probs)
pcontent=.8
discint(dist,pcontent)

Example output

$prob
[1] 0.8214841
