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 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.

A Modified Negative Binomial Distribution: Properties, Overdispersion and Underdispersion
Journal 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.

The Beta-Binomial Distribution
, 2023 The beta-binomial distribution can be thought of as a binomial distribution where the probability of success in each trial is not fixed but follows a beta distribution. It is often used to capture correlation in a sequence of Bernoulli trials or to model

THE ANALYSIS OF HETEROGENEITY IN THE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION [PDF]
Annals of Eugenics, 1951 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

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.

Generalized binomial distribution in photon statistics
Open Physics, 2015 The photon-number distribution between two parts of a given volume is found for an arbitrary photon statistics. This problem is related to the interaction of a light beam with a macroscopic device, for example a diaphragm, that separates the photon flux ...

An Aggregation Rule Based on the Binomial Distribution
Mathematics, 2022 Many decision-making situations require the evaluation of several voters or agents. In a situation where voters evaluate candidates, the question arises of how best to aggregate evaluations so as to compare the candidates.
