A Bimodal Extension of the Beta-Binomial Distribution with Applications

open access: yesAxioms
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 ...

Although fluctuations in sustained attention are ubiquitous, most psychological experiments treat them as noise, averaging performance over many trials. The current study uses multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) to decode whether, on each trial of a cognitive task, participants are in an optimal or suboptimal attentional state.
