A Bimodal Extension of the Beta-Binomial Distribution with Applications
In this paper, we propose an alternative distribution to model count data exhibiting uni/bimodality. It arises as a weighted version of the beta-binomial distribution, which is defined by a parametric weight function that admits up to two modes for the ...

Empirical Bayesian analysis of paired high-throughput sequencing data with a beta-binomial distribution. [PDF]
Pairing of samples arises naturally in many genomic experiments; for example, gene expression in tumour and normal tissue from the same patients. Methods for analysing high-throughput sequencing data from such experiments are required to identify differential expression, both within paired samples and between pairs under different experimental ...

An Alternative to the Beta-Binomial Distribution with Application in Developmental Toxicology [PDF]
. The beta-binomial distribution is resulted when the probability of success per trial in the binomial distribution varies in successive trials and the mixing distribution is from the beta family. For experiments with binary outcomes, often it may happen

Decision-theoretic designs for a series of trials with correlated treatment effects using the Sarmanov multivariate beta-binomial distribution. [PDF]
The motivation for the work in this article is the setting in which a number of treatments are available for evaluation in phase II clinical trials and where it may be infeasible to try them concurrently because the intended population is small.

Applications of Beta Negative Binomial Distribution and Laguerre Polynomials on Ozaki Bi-Close-to-Convex Functions [PDF]
In the present paper, due to beta negative binomial distribution series and Laguerre polynomials, we investigate a new family FΣ(δ,η,λ,θ;h) of normalized holomorphic and bi-univalent functions associated with Ozaki close-to-convex functions.

The sampling distribution of the maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of beta-binomial distribution [PDF]
In this paper sampling distributions for the maximum likelihood estimators of the Beta- Binomial model are obtained numerically using approximate random numbers from the Beta-Binomial distribution. STATGRAPHICS package is used to obtain the best fitted distributions using Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.

NEGATIVE BINOMIAL APPROXIMATION TO THE BETA BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION [PDF]
This paper determines a bound on the approximation of the beta binomial distribution with parameters n, andby a negative binomial distri- bution with parametersand + + +n . With this bound, it is indicated that the beta binomial distribution can be well approximated by the negative binomial distribution whenis large.

Statistical Inference of the Beta Binomial Exponential 2 Distribution with Application to Environmental Data [PDF]
A new four-parameter lifetime distribution called the beta binomial exponential 2 (BBE2) distribution is proposed. Some mathematical features, including quantile function, moments, generating function and characteristic function, of the BBE2 distribution,

A measure for spatial heterogeneity of a grassland vegetation based on the beta‐binomial distribution [PDF]
Abstract.A method is proposed to estimate the frequency and the spatial heterogeneity of occurrence of individual plant species composing the community of a grassland or a plant community with a short height. The measure is based on the beta‐binomial distribution.

Acceptance sampling is a technique for statistical quality assurance based on the inspection of a random sample to decide the lot disposition: accept or reject. Producer’s risk and consumer’s risk are inevitable in acceptance sampling.
