On the nature of the binomial distribution

Journal of Applied Probability, 2001
We examine how the binomial distribution B(n,p) arises as the distribution S n = ∑ i=1 n X i of an arbitrary sequence of Bernoulli variables.

THE TRUNCATED BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

Annals of Eugenics, 1947
The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views

The Binomial Distribution

1989
You are quite aware of the work needed to compute probabilities for the hypergeometric distribution. We will see how to use the following mathematical theorem to get some simplification.

Generalized binomial distributions

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2000
The definition, properties, and calculational advantages of the binomial transform representation of a class of finitely enumerated discrete probability distributions that generalize the standard binomial distribution are investigated. Discrete distributions of this type appear in various models of hadron multiparticle production among other physical ...

On the extended binomial distribution

Computers & Operations Research, 1984
An extended binomial random variable tallies the number of successes in n dichotomous and independent experiments with unequal probability of success in each trial, however. The paper describes situations where an extended binomial distribution arises and suggests an algorithm for computing its values.

Binomial Approximation to the Markov Binomial Distribution

Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, 2007
The Markov binomial distribution is approximated by the binomial distribution. Estimates of accuracy are obtained for the total variation and local norms. The results include second-order estimates and asymptotically sharp constants.

From the binomial to the poisson distribution

Nutrition, 1997
“Probability is the reflection of man’s ignorance” as the saying goes, but all too often it is an honest reflection of the available information when dealing with the uncertainties of the future. For example, when having to choose which operation would be safest on a particular patient, surely we would choose the one that has the best chance of success.
