C#

public static BetaFitResult FitToSample(
	IReadOnlyList<double> sample
)

VB

Public Shared Function FitToSample ( 
	sample As IReadOnlyList(Of Double)
) As BetaFitResult

C++

public:
static BetaFitResult^ FitToSample(
	IReadOnlyList<double>^ sample
)

F#

static member FitToSample : 
        sample : IReadOnlyList<float> -> BetaFitResult

Parameters

sample IReadOnlyListDouble: The sample to fit.

Return Value

BetaFitResult
The best fit parameters.

Remarks

The returned fit parameters are the α (Alpha) and β (Beta) parameters, in that order. These are the same parameters, in the same order, that are required by the BetaDistribution(Double, Double) constructor to specify a new Beta distribution.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	sample is null.
InsufficientDataException	sample contains fewer than three values.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Not all the entries in sample lie between zero and one.
