Functions for Working with Two- And Four-Parameter Beta Probability Distributions and Psychometric Analysis of Classifications
Description
Package providing a number of functions for working with Two- and Four-parameter Beta and closely related distributions (i.e., the Gamma- Binomial-, and Beta-Binomial distributions). Includes, among other things: - d/p/q/r functions for Four-Parameter Beta distributions and Generalized "Binomial" (continuous) distributions, and d/p/r- functions for Beta- Binomial distributions. - d/p/q/r functions for Two- and Four-Parameter Beta distributions parameterized in terms of their means and variances rather than their shape-parameters. - Moment generating functions for Binomial distributions, Beta-Binomial distributions, and observed value distributions. - Functions for estimating classification accuracy and consistency, making use of the Classical Test-Theory based 'Livingston and Lewis' (L&L) and 'Hanson and Brennan' approaches. A shiny app is available, providing a GUI for the L&L approach when used for binary classifications. For url to the app, see documentation for the LL.CA() function.
