In MOM: Estimation and Testing of Hypothesis

Method of Moments Estimation of Negative Binomial distribution

Description

function to get the method of moment estimate(s) of negative binomial distribution

Usage

geom_est(data, plot = TRUE, curvecol = "red", ...)

Arguments

data	A numeric vector.
plot	logical which controls whether the barplot of the data along with the probability curve of the theoretical negative binomial distribution with the estimated parameters.
curvecol	color of the theoretical probability curve
...	additional plotting parameters

Value

the estimated parameters by the method of moments of the data assuming the underlying distribution is geometric distribution

Examples

geom_est(rgeom(1000,prob=0.2))
