MLB: Most Likely True Beta Value Given Observed Outcome.
In betafunctions: Functions for Working with Two- And Four-Parameter Beta Probability Distributions and Psychometric Analysis of Classifications
View source: R/betafunctions.R
MLB R Documentation
Most Likely True Beta Value Given Observed Outcome.
Description
Assuming a prior standard (two-parameter) Beta Distribution, return the beta shape-parameter value where the observed mean becomes the mode.
Usage
MLB(alpha, beta, x = NULL, n = NULL)
Arguments
alpha
Observed alpha-parameter value for fitted Standard Beta Probability Density Distribution.
beta
Observed beta-parameter value for fitted Standard Beta Probability Density Distribution.
x
Observed proportion-correct outcome.
n
Test-length.
Value
The Beta shape-parameter value for the Standard Beta probability density distribution where the observed mean is the expected mode.
Examples
# Assuming a prior Standard (two-parameter) Beta distribution is fit, which
# yield an alpha parameter of 10 and a beta parameter of 8, calculate the
# true-beta parameter most likely to have produced the observations:
MLB(a = 10, b = 8)
