betamode: Compute Mode of Two- and Four-Parameter Beta Probability...

In hthaa/betafunctions: Functions for Working with Two- And Four-Parameter Beta Probability Distributions and Psychometric Analysis of Classifications

Compute Mode of Two- and Four-Parameter Beta Probability Density distribution.

Description

Computes the mode of a Beta distribution with specified shape- and location parameters.

Usage

betamode(alpha, beta, l = 0, u = 1)

Arguments

alpha	The alpha shape parameter of the Probability Density Distribution.
beta	The beta shape parameter of the Probability Density Distribution.
l	The first (lower) location parameter of a four-parameter distribution. Default set to 0.
u	The second (upper) location parameter of a four-parameter distribution. Default set to 1.

Examples

# To calculate the mode of a two-parameter (standard) Beta distribution with
# shape parameters alpha = 5 and beta = 3:
betamode(alpha = 5, beta = 3)

# To calculate the mode of a four-parameter Beta distribution with shape
# parameters alpha = 5 and beta = 3, and location parameters l = 25 and
# u = 150:
betamode(alpha = 5, beta = 3, l = 25, u = 150)
