[R] Parameters of Beta distribution
Supose I have a data pertaining to credit loss as
amounts <-
c(46839.50,31177.12,35696.69,21192.57,29200.91,42049.64,42422.19,
44976.18, 32135.36,47936.57,27322.91,37359.09,43179.60, 48381.02,
45872.38, 28057.30,44643.83,36156.33,16037.62, 45432.28)
I am trying to fit Beta distribution (two parameters distribution but
where lower bound and upper bounds are NOT 0 and 1 respectively). For
this I need to estimate the two parameters of Beta distribution. I found
some code in VGAM pacakge but it deals with standard Beta distribution
i.e. lower bound (say A) = 0 and upper bound (say B) = 1.
How do I estimate the parameters of the Beta distribution for above data
where A and B are not 0's?
Please guide.
Thanking you in advance
