NEGATIVE BINOMIAL APPROXIMATION TO THE BETA BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pure and Apllied Mathematics, 2015
This paper determines a bound on the approximation of the beta binomial distribution with parameters n, andby a negative binomial distri- bution with parametersand + + +n . With this bound, it is indicated that the beta binomial distribution can be well approximated by the negative binomial distribution whenis large.

The role of super-spreading events in Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission: evidence from contact tracing

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background In current epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB), heterogeneity in infectiousness among TB patients is a challenge, which is not well studied. We aimed to quantify this heterogeneity and the presence of “super-spreading” events that can assist in ...

Application of the discrete distribution in Bayes analYsis of nature area coverage data

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2012
Classical statistical methods do not always provide desired results for every situation. Therefore, new alternative methods of data analysis are in demand. As the computational power becomes more modern, Bayes statistical methods are increasingly applied

A beta-Poisson model for infectious disease transmission.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology
Outbreaks of emerging and zoonotic infections represent a substantial threat to human health and well-being. These outbreaks tend to be characterised by highly stochastic transmission dynamics with intense variation in transmission potential between ...

A Stopped Negative Binomial Distribution

open access: yes, 2015
This paper introduces a new discrete distribution suggested by curtailed sampling rules common in early-stage clinical trials. We derive the distribution of the smallest number of independent Bernoulli(p) trials needed in order to observe either s successes or t failures.

Computer generation of initial spatial distribution for cell automata [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Ecology and Software, 2011
The algorithm to generate spatial distribution patterns was developed and presented in this study. Three typical spatial distribution patterns, i.e., Poisson distribution, binomial distribution, and negative binomial distribution were included in the ...
