This function will check to see if some given vector .x is either a numeric vector or a factor vector with at least two levels then it will cause an error and the function will abort. The function will return a list output by default, and if the parameter .auto_gen_empirical is set to TRUE then the empirical data given to the parameter .x will be run through the tidy_empirical() function and combined with the estimated binomial data.

Usage

util_binomial_param_estimate(.x, .size = NULL, .auto_gen_empirical = TRUE)

Arguments

.x

The vector of data to be passed to the function. Must be numeric, and all values must be 0 <= x <= 1

.size

Number of trials, zero or more.

.auto_gen_empirical

This is a boolean value of TRUE/FALSE with default set to TRUE. This will automatically create the tidy_empirical() output for the .x parameter and use the tidy_combine_distributions(). The user can then plot out the data using $combined_data_tbl from the function output.

Value

A tibble/list

Details

This function will attempt to estimate the binomial p_hat and size parameters given some vector of values.
