This function takes a numeric count vector and returns estimated probabilities of the corresponding counts.
The following probability estimation methods are implemented in this function:
method = "empirical"
: generates the relative frequency of the data x/sum(x)
.
estimate.probability(x, method = "empirical")
a numeric vector storing count values.
a character string specifying the estimation method tht should be used to estimate probabilities from input counts.
a numeric probability vector.
# generate a count vector
x <- runif(100)
# generate a probability vector from corresponding counts
# method = "empirical"
x.prob <- estimate.probability(x, method = "empirical")
