Thank you for your response. I saw already that example and some
others too. However, they defined alpha and beta in the examples or
use two different dataset. I did not know alpha and beta values and
have only one data set. I could calculate alpha and beta by using
variance and means for the data has one peaks.
How can I calculate alpha and beta for two peak distributions?
Given your level of obtuseness I think that the advancement of science
would be best served if you were not encouraged to pursue this line of
endeavour any further.
Be that as it may: *NO*, "they" did not define alpha and beta in the
example (singular). They *simulated* a data set using known values of
alpha and beta, and then fitted a beta mixture model to the simulated
data, obtaining fitted values of the alphas and betas that were
satisfyingly close to the "true" values from which the data were simulated.
