varBeta function

Compute variance of a beta distribution from data

This is an internal function. Given a vector with values between 0 and 1 and assumed to come from a beta distribution, this function return the variance of the distribution. A trim parameter allow to have a robust value

varBeta(x, trim.opt)

Arguments

• x: vector with components between 0 and 1
• trim.opt: value between 0 and 0.5 used as trim parameter

Returns

This function returns one value equalt to the variance of the best beta distribution of entry x
