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 ...

Markov Cohort State-Transition Model: A Multinomial Distribution Representation. [PDF]
, 2022 HIGHLIGHTS A Markov model simulates the average experience of a cohort of patients.Monte Carlo simulation, the standard approach for estimating the variance, is computationally expensive.A multinomial distribution provides an exact representation of a

Asymptotic comparison of negative multinomial and multivariate normal experiments [PDF]
, 2023 This note presents a refined local approximation for the logarithm of the ratio between the negative multinomial probability mass function and a multivariate normal density, both having the same mean-covariance structure.

Masses of Negative Multinomial Distributions: Application to Polarimetric Image Processing [PDF]
Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2013 This paper derives new closed-form expressions for the masses of negative multinomial distributions. These masses can be maximized to determine the maximum likelihood estimator of its unknown parameters. An application to polarimetric image processing is investigated. We study the maximum likelihood estimators of the polarization degree of polarimetric

Rural livelihood diversification and income inequality in local government area Akinyele, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2014 The pattern of income distribution has been a major concern in the developing world. This is because high levels of income inequality are likely to create a hostile atmosphere for economic growth and development.

Negative binomial and multinomial states: Probability distributions and coherent states [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1997 Following the relationship between probability distribution and coherent states, for example the well known Poisson distribution and the ordinary coherent states and relatively less known one of the binomial distribution and the su(2) coherent states, we propose interpretation of su(1,1) and su(r,1) coherent states in terms of probability theory.

Burden and predictors of Staphylococcus aureus and S. pseudintermedius infections among dogs presented at an academic veterinary hospital in South Africa (2007–2012) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Staphylococci are commensals of the mucosal surface and skin of humans and animals, but have been implicated in infections such as otitis externa, pyoderma, urinary tract infections and post-surgical complications.
