We investigate estimation of the parameter, κ, of the negative binomial distribution for small samples, using a method-of-moments estimate (MME) and a maximum quasi-likelihood estimate (MQLE).

In this article we review two historical approximations to the Poisson and binomial cumulative distribution functions (CDFs); that is, the Wilson—Hilferty and Camp—Paulson approximations. Both of ...

The binomial proportion is computed as the proportion of observations for the first level of the variable that you are studying. The following statements compute the proportion of children with brown ...

This study extends the Poisson binomial distribution by introducing correlation and dependence between binomial events, enhancing its ability to capture complex event types and improving model ...
