dot-phi: Density of the Kimura distribution

In lbozhilova/kimura: Fitting Kimura Distirbutions to Heteroplasmy Data

Density of the Kimura distribution

Description

Estimate the probability density function at x for heteroplasmy under no selection pressure.

Usage

.phi(x, p, b)

Arguments

x	number in (0; 1): the point at which the density is calculated.
p	number in (0; 1): initial heteroplasmy.
b	number in (0; 1): drift parameter.

Value

The density of Kimura(p, b), evaluated at x.
