empericalBAx: The empirical Bayesian approach for Beta-Binomial model given x
Description
The empirical Bayesian approach for Beta-Binomial model given x
Usage
empericalBAx(x, n, alp, sL, sU)
Arguments
x
- Number of successes
n
- Number of trials
alp
- Alpha value (significance level required)
sL
- Lower support for MLE optimization
sU
- Upper support for MLE optimization
Value
A dataframe with
x
- Number of successes (positive samples)
pomean
- Posterior mean
LEBAQ
- Lower limits of Quantile based intervals
UEBAQ
- Upper limits of Quantile based intervals
LEBAH
- Lower limits of HPD intervals
UEBAH
- Upper limits of HPD intervals
Details
Highest Probability Density (HPD) and two tailed intervals are provided for the
required x (any one value from \( 0, 1, 2 ..n\)) based on empirical Bayesian approach for
Beta-Binomial model. Lower and Upper support values are needed to obtain the MLE of
marginal likelihood for prior parameters.
