All rights reserved. The non-commercial (academic) use of this software is free of charge. The only thing that is asked in return is to cite this software when results are used in publications.

This free online software (calculator) computes the shape1 and shape2 parameter of the Beta distribution fitted against any data series that is specified. The computation is performed by means of the Maximum-likelihood method. In addition the PPCC Contour Plot (Probability Plot Correlation Coefficient Contour Plot) and the QQ Plot are shown.

Note: it is often not possible to find optimal values for shape1 and shape2. The reason is that the estimation algorithm need good starting values.

Special thanks to 'Kyle' for pointing out the missing 'xbar' in line 39 of the R code!
