Comparative poisson clinical trials of multiple experimental treatments vs a single control using the negative multinomial distribution [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine, 2021 AbstractThis paper introduces a method which conditions on the number of events that occur in the control group to determine rejection regions and power for comparative Poisson trials with multiple experimental treatment arms that are each compared to one control arm.

Compound Power Series Distribution with Negative Multinomial Summands
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2022 The paper considers a multivariate distribution whose coordinates are compounds. The number of the summands is itself also a multivariate compound with one and the same univariate Power series distributed number of summands and negative multinomially ...

Occupancy Statistics and Entropy in Bose Systems [PDF]
EntropyIn this work, we compare three formulations of thermodynamic entropy for a non-interacting bosonic gas: (i) the grand-canonical Bose–Einstein entropy, (ii) the finite-N canonical entropy obtained from the exact partition function (Ziff, Uhlenbeck, and ...

Estimating effective reproduction number revisited
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Accurately estimating the effective reproduction number is crucial for characterizing the transmissibility of infectious diseases to optimize interventions and responses during epidemic outbreaks. In this study, we improve the estimation of the effective

Correlations in Compositional Data without Log Transformations
Axioms, 2023 This article proposes a method for determining the p-value of correlations in compositional data, i.e., those data that arise as a result of dividing original values by their sum.

Inferring single- and multi-species distributional aggregation using quadrat sampling
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Ecologists often employ cost-effective strategies such as quadrat sampling for field-based biodiversity assessments. While the negative binomial distribution (NBD) is widely used to characterize quadrat sampling-derived biodiversity data in single ...
