betaparametw {MBttest} | R Documentation

## Estimation of proportion weights

### Description

Function betaparametw is used to calculate weight.

### Usage

    betaparametw(xn, a, b)

### Arguments

`xn` | vector of m library sizes. Library size is sum of counts over the whole library.
`a` | parameter alpha in beta distribution derived from output of function betaparametab
`b` | parameter beta in beta distribution derived from output of function betaparametab

### Details

alpha and beta are used to calculate weight. Then weight is in turn used to correct bias of estimation of alpha and beta in betaparametab function.

### Value

return weight(W)
