betaparametw: Estimation of proportion weights

In Yuande/MBttest: Multiple Beta t-Tests

Estimation of proportion weights

Description

Function betaparametw is used to calculate weight.

Usage

betaparametw(xn, a, b)

Arguments

xn	vector of m library sizes. Library size is sum of counts over the whole library.
a	parameter alpha in beta distribution derived from output of function betaparametab
b	parameter beta in beta distribution derived from output of function betaparametab

Details

alpha and beta are used to calculate weight. Then weight is in turn used to correct bias of estimation of alpha and beta in betaparametab function.

Value

return weight(W)
