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).
The binomial distribution is an important discrete distribution. It gives the probability of the number of "successes," in a sequence of n independent binary trials. This applet allows users to drag ...
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics), Vol. 27, No. 2 (1978), pp. 162-167 (6 pages) The sum of k independent and identically distributed (0, 1) variables has a ...
For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...
