Analysis of Cumulant Moments in High Energy Hadron-Hadron Collisions by Truncated Multiplicity Distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Oscillatory behavior of cumulant moments obtained from the experimental data in $pp$ collisions and $\bar{p}p$ collisions are analyzed by the modified negative binomial distribution (MNBD) and the negative binomial distribution (NBD).

Non-normal Distributions Commonly Used in Health, Education, and Social Sciences: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Statistical analysis is crucial for research and the choice of analytical technique should take into account the specific distribution of data. Although the data obtained from health, educational, and social sciences research are often not normally ...

Comparisons of statistical distributions for cluster sizes in a developing pandemic

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2022
Background We consider cluster size data of SARS-CoV-2 transmissions for a number of different settings from recently published data. The statistical characteristics of superspreading events are commonly described by fitting a negative binomial ...

Disoriented Chiral Condensates, Pion Probability Distributions and Parallels with Disordered System [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
A general expression is discussed for pion probability distributions coming from relativistic heavy ion collisions. The general expression contains as limits: 1) The disoriented chiral condensate (DCC), 2) the negative binomial distribution and Pearson ...

Double Generalized Beta-Binomial and Negative Binomial Regression Models

open access: yesRevista Colombiana de Estadística, 2017
Overdispersion is a common phenomenon in count datasets, that can greatly affect inferences about the model. In this paper develop three joint mean and dispersion regression models in order to fit overdispersed data.

On the Accuracy of the Generalized Gamma Approximation to Generalized Negative Binomial Random Sums

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
We investigate the proximity in terms of zeta-structured metrics of generalized negative binomial random sums to generalized gamma distribution with the corresponding parameters, extending thus the zeta-structured estimates of the rate of convergence in ...

A Modified Negative Binomial Distribution: Properties, Overdispersion and Underdispersion

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2019
In this paper, we introduce a new and useful discrete distribution (modified negative binomial distribution) and its statistical and probabilistic properties are discussed.

On hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2002
It is shown that the hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution has moments of all positive orders, is overdispersed, skewed to the right, and leptokurtic.

On the forward-backward correlations in a two-stage scenario [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
It is demonstrated that in a two-stage scenario with elementary Poissonian emitters of particles (colour strings) arbitrarily distributed in their number and average multiplicities, the forward- backward correlations are completely determined by the ...
