For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...

Binomial edge ideals constitute a vibrant research area where the methods of commutative algebra intersect with the combinatorial structures inherent in graph theory. By associating to each graph an ...

Estimating equations are used to develop simple non-iterative estimates of the κ-coefficient that can be used when there are more than two random raters and/or unbalanced data (each subject is not ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A procedure is proposed to estimate the mean of a negative binomial distribution when the value of the exponent, k, is known. The procedure is ...
