qLow |
The observed lower quantile. |
qUpp |
The observed upper quantile. |
alpha |
The confidence level; i.e. the desired coverage is 1-alpha. Defaults to 0.05. |
initPars |
A vector of length 2 giving the initial parameter values to start the optimisation; defaults to c(10,0.5). |
maxiter |
Maximum number of iterations for |
A vector of length 2 giving the 2 parameters size and prob for use with rnbinom/dnbinom/pnbinom/qnbinom.
