[code]library(MASS) x=c(rep(0,8096), rep(1,1629), rep(2,233), rep(3,38), rep(4,4) )
x.bar=round(mean(x),4) x.var=round(var(x),4) p.hat=round(x.bar/x.var,4) alpha.hat=round(x.bar*p.hat/(1-p.hat),4) fitdistr(x, "Negative Binomial") fitdistr(x, "Poisson")[/code] 1- fitdistr(x, "Negative Binomial") the parameters got here, is it for negative binomial type 2? how can i ask it to use the methods of moments to calculat the parameters? (p.hat and alpha.hat which i derived from methods of moments seem to give a different value) 2-how can i fit it and than test the goodness of it? 3-then compare with the Poisson model? Thanks =============================================== by negative binomial type two i mean -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/test-the-goodness-of-it-for-negative-binomial-type-2-tp1575892p1575892.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
