# S4 method for class 'Dir,numeric'
d(distr, x)

# S4 method for class 'Dir,numeric'
r(distr, n)

# S4 method for class 'Dir'

ll(distr, x)

edirichlet(x, type = "mle", ...)

# S4 method for class 'Dir,matrix'
mle(distr, x, par0 = "same", method = "L-BFGS-B", lower = 1e-05, upper = Inf)

# S4 method for class 'Dir,matrix'
me(distr, x)

# S4 method for class 'Dir,matrix'
same(distr, x)

vdirichlet(alpha, type = "mle")

# S4 method for class 'Dir'
avar_mle(distr)

avar_me(distr)

# S4 method for class 'Dir'
avar_same(distr)

Arguments

alpha: numeric. The distribution parameters.
distr: an object of class Dir.
x: an object of class Dir. If the function also has a distr argument, x is a numeric vector, a sample of observations.
n: numeric. The sample size.
type: character, case ignored. The estimator type (mle, me, or same).
...: extra arguments.
par0, method, lower, upper: arguments passed to optim.

Value

Each type of function returns a different type of object:

Distribution Functions: When supplied with one argument (distr), the d(), p(), q(), r(), ll() functions return the density, cumulative probability, quantile, random sample generator, and log-likelihood functions, respectively. When supplied with both arguments (distr and x), they evaluate the aforementioned functions directly.
Moments: Returns a numeric, either vector or matrix depending on the moment and the distribution. The moments() function returns a list with all the available methods.
Estimation: Returns a list. The estimator of the unknown parameters. Note that in distribution families like the binomial, multinomial, and negative binomial, the size is not returned, since it is considered known.
Variance: Returns a named matrix. The asymptotic covariance matrix of the estimator.
