aqbeta: Astro:Beta Distribution (quantile)

In astro: Astronomy Functions, Tools and Routines

Description

An astro wrapper around the 'qbeta' function. Useful for calculating robust upper and lower error boundaries for a given data set.

Usage

aqbeta(k, n, s = c(-1,1), p = NA, corr = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

k	number of successes
n	total number of trials
s	sigma values required
p	probability values required (see details)
corr	apply a one-sided correction for extreme values ( k=0 / k=n )
...	arguments to be passed to 'qbeta'

Details

When 'p' is equal to <NA> (default), sigma confidence intervals are calculated according to the value of 's'. If a value of 'p' is given, probabilities of 'p' are calculated instead.
