getMinInfBeta: Get the minimal informative unimodal beta distribution

Description

As defined in Neuenschwander et al (2008), this function computes the parameters of the minimal informative unimodal beta distribution, given the request that the p-quantile should be q, i.e. X ~ Be(a, b) with Pr(X <= q) = p.

Usage

getMinInfBeta(p, q)

Value

the two resulting beta parameters a and b in a list

Arguments

p

the probability (> 0 and < 1)

q

the quantile (> 0 and < 1)
