asa189

asa189 a FORTRAN77 code which does a maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a Beta Binomial PDF.

This is Applied Statistics Algorithm 189.

This algorithm analyzes data that was generated by a beta binomial probability density function, and tries to estimate the values of the parameters that determing that PDF.
