binom_n(x, alpha = 1, na.rm = FALSE)

binom_p(x, alpha = 1, lambda = 1, na.rm = FALSE)

`x`	a numeric vector.
`alpha, lambda`	parameters for methods described by DasGupta and Rubin (2005).
`na.rm`	a logical value indicating whether `NA` values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

Methods of estimating size of binomial population n are based on paper by DasGupta and Rubin (2005) who describe the "new moment estimator" n1 and the second estimator n2, additionally, the method of moments estimator mmes as described by Grevstad (2006) is available.

For estimating probability of success p, the "common moments estimator" p.tilde and and new estimator p.hat proposed by DasGupta and Rubin (2005) are available.
