EstMLECOMPBin function

Estimating the probability of success and v parameter for COM Poisson Binomial Distribution

The function will estimate the probability of success and v parameter using the maximum log likelihood method for the COM Poisson Binomial distribution when the binomial random variables and corresponding frequencies are given.

EstMLECOMPBin(x,freq,p,v,...)

Arguments

• x: vector of binomial random variables.
• freq: vector of frequencies.
• p: single value for probability of success.
• v: single value for v.
• ...: mle2 function inputs except data and estimating parameter.

Returns

EstMLECOMPBin here is used as a wrapper for the mle2 function of bbmle package therefore output is of class of mle2.

Details

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.

Examples

No.D.D <- 0:7               #assigning the random variables
Obs.fre.1 <- c(47,54,43,40,40,41,39,95)     #assigning the corresponding frequencies

#estimating the parameters using maximum log likelihood value and assigning it
parameters <- EstMLECOMPBin(x=No.D.D,freq=Obs.fre.1,p=0.5,v=0.1)

bbmle::coef(parameters)           #extracting the parameters
