Does anyone know of a reference that describes the steps in computing the mean for the beta-binomial distribution. E[X]=n*a/(a+b). How do you derive this. Aaron === This list is open to everyone. Occasionally, less

Re: What is the logarithmic distribution? (many questions)

Many thanks to Dr Byrne, the explicit expression of the mean hinted at the correct direction, the error I made was confusing natural logarithm and base 10 logarithm! I apologize that I didn't post the complete example data, which follows: No. of species Theoretical frequency Observed
