est3bs {bs} | R Documentation |
The function est3bs()
estimates the parameters alpha and beta of the BSD from a sample of observations by using the modified moment method
(MLE); see Ng, Kundub and Balakrishnan (2006).
est3bs(x)
x |
Vector of observations. |
The function est3bs()
returns a list with two elements:
alpha |
Estimation of alpha by using MME method. |
beta |
Estimation of beta by using MME method. |
