summarize_beta_binomial function

Summarize a Beta-Binomial Bayesian model

Consider a Beta-Binomial Bayesian model for parameter $\pi$ with a Beta(alpha, beta) prior on $\pi$ and Binomial likelihood with n trials and y successes. Given information on the prior (alpha and data) and data (y and n), this function summarizes the mean, mode, and variance of the prior and posterior Beta models of $\pi$.

summarize_beta_binomial(alpha, beta, y = NULL, n = NULL)

Arguments

• alpha, beta: positive shape parameters of the prior Beta model
• y: number of successes
• n: number of trials

Returns

a summary table

Examples

summarize_beta_binomial(alpha = 1, beta = 15, y = 25, n = 50)
