  1. The negative binomial distribution

    Bartko, John JaroslavVirginia Polytechnic Institute1960

    … the major literature dealing with the negative binomial distribution. An account of the forms of the distribution is presented. This includes compound, limiting and truncated forms and examples of their occurrence. Parameter estimation is treated in a few specific cases. In particular, the …

  2. New Multivariate Zero-Inflated Beta-Binomial Distribution

    Ji, BowenFaculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina2019

    The multivariate zero-inflated beta-binomial model is significantly important for modelling and analyzing multivariate proportional data with extra zeros. Comparing with the binomial model, the beta-binomial model is a better alternative for explicitly accounting for over-dispersion, and …

  3. A Two-Parameter Lindley-Binomial Distribution: Properties and Applications

    Zhang, XiaoqingFaculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina2021

    The binomial distribution is a common and well known distribution that many situations and applications of binomial distribution can be found. In the real life anything that can be thought of a success or a failure can be considered as a Binomial distribution. However, this kind of instances does …

This approach takes the decision of prior selection out of the hands of the researcher. Ideally, …
