discint {LearnBayes} | R Documentation

## Highest probability interval for a discrete distribution

### Description

Computes a highest probability interval for a discrete probability distribution

### Usage

    discint(dist, prob)

### Arguments

`dist` | probability distribution written as a matrix where the first column contain the values and the second column the probabilities
`prob` | probability content of interest

### Value

`prob` | exact probability content of interval
`set` | set of values of the probability interval

### Author(s)

Jim Albert

### Examples

    x=0:10
    probs=dbinom(x,size=10,prob=.3)
    dist=cbind(x,probs)
    pcontent=.8
    discint(dist,pcontent)
