New bounds on Poisson approximation to the distribution of a sum of negative binomial random variables [PDF]
The Stein-Chen method is usedto give new bounds, non-uniform bounds, for the distances between the distribution of a sum of independent negative binomial random variables and a Poisson distribution with mean, where ri and pi = 1-qi are parameters of ...

Effects of the Detection Efficiency on Multiplicity Distributions
In this paper we investigate how a finite detection efficiency affects three popular multiplicity distributions, namely the Poisson, the Binomial and the Negative Binomial distributions.

The Burr XII Negative Binomial Distribution with Applications to Lifetime Data
A five-parameter model, called the Burr XII negative binomialĀ distribution, is defined and studied. The new model contains as special cases some important lifetime distributions discussed in the literature, such as theĀ log-logistic, Weibull, Pareto ...

Nonextensive Statistics and Multiplicity Distribution in Hadronic Collisions
The multiplicity distribution of particles in relativistic gases is studied in terms of Tsallis' nonextensive statistics. For an entropic index q>1 the multiplicity distribution is wider than the Poisson distribution with the same average number of ...

A Procedure for Sampling Nymphs of Saratoga Spittlebug, \u3ci\u3eAphrophora Saratogensis\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Cercopidae), Using Percentage of Sample-Units Infested [PDF]
A method is proposed for rapidly estimating the nymphal population of the Saratoga spittlebug on alternate host plants in young red pine plantations. The method is based on an assumption that the number of nymphs per sample unit is distributed within an ...

NBLDA: Negative Binomial Linear Discriminant Analysis for RNA-Seq Data
RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become a powerful technology to characterize gene expression profiles because it is more accurate and comprehensive than microarrays. Although statistical methods that have been developed for microarray data can be applied to

The use of prevalence as a measure of lice burden: a case study of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on Scottish Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., farms [PDF]
This study investigates the benefits of using prevalence as a summary measure of sea lice infestation on farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. Aspects such as sampling effort, the relationship between abundance and prevalence arising from the negative ...

On Some Stationary INAR(1) Processes with Compound Poisson Distributions
Aly and Bouzar ([2]) used the backward approach in presence of the binomial thinning operator to construct underdispersed stationary first-order autoregressive integer valued (INAR (1)) processes.
