Comparisons of statistical distributions for cluster sizes in a developing pandemic

BMC 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 ...

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

Mathematics, 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 note on negative λ-binomial distribution

Advances in Difference Equations, 2020
In this paper, we introduce one discrete random variable, namely the negative λ-binomial random variable. We deduce the expectation of the negative λ-binomial random variable.

On hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution

International 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.

Correlated Binomial Models and Correlation Structures [PDF]

, 2006
We discuss a general method to construct correlated binomial distributions by imposing several consistent relations on the joint probability function.

Association of ambient ozone pollution with respiratory disease among children: comparison among three distribution fittings of daily hospitalization in generalized additive model analysis

Zhongguo gonggong weisheng, 2022
ObjectiveTo compare differences among the results of utilizing Poisson distribution, quasi-Poisson distribution, and negative binomial distribution in the generalized additive model (GAM) analysis on the association of ambient air ozone (O3) with ...

How many strong earthquakes will there be tomorrow?

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023
In this note, we study the distribution of earthquake numbers in both worldwide and regional catalogs: in the Global Centroid Moment Tensor catalog, from 1980 to 2019 for magnitudes Mw 5.
