Neurons transmit information with sequences of action potentials. These responses are variable—repeated measurements under identical experimental conditions give different spike trains—but the origins ...

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 ...

In this paper we consider large θ approximations for the stationary distribution of the neutral infinite alleles model as described by the the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter θ. We prove ...

We consider a class of phase-type distributions (PH-distributions), to be called the MMPP class of PH-distributions, and find bounds of their mean and squared coefficient of variation (SCV). As an ...
