An Improved Saddlepoint Approximation Based on the Negative Binomial Distribution for the General Birth Process
Daniels (JAP 1982) gave a saddlepoint approximation to the probabilities of a general birth process. This paper gives an improved approximation which is only slightly more complex than Daniels’ approximation and which has considerably reduced relative error in most cases. The new approximation has the characteristic that it is exact whenever the birth rates can be reordered into a linear increa...
متن کاملAn Alternative to the Beta-Binomial Distribution with Application in Developmental Toxicology
The beta-binomial distribution is resulted when the probability of success per trial in the binomial distribution varies in successive trials and the mixing distribution is from the beta family. For experiments with binary outcomes, often it may happen that observations exhibit some extra binomial variation and occur in clusters. In such experiments the beta-binomial distribution can generally ...
متن کاملBinomial Sampling and the Binomial Distribution
This is a good place to point out that these are only (approximating) , and not full truth. models Truth is not a model. A model, by definition, is an approximation (and not truth). In fact, out of a few million coin flips, one or more coins will remain standing on edge – that is truth. The binomial model does not allow such reality. The idea is more easily understood for the outcomes “dead" or...
متن کاملUniform asymptotics of Poisson approximation to the Poisson-binomial distribution
New uniform asymptotic approximations with error bounds are derived for a generalized total variation distance of Poisson approximations to the Poisson-binomial distribution. The method of proof is also applicable to other Poisson approximation problems. MSC 2000 Subject Classifications: Primary 62E17; secondary 60C05.
متن کاملClubbed Binomial Approximation for the Lightbulb Process
In the so called lightbulb process, on days r = 1, . . . ,n, out of n lightbulbs, all initially off, exactly r bulbs selected uniformly and independent of the past have their status changed from off to on, or vice versa. With Wn the number of bulbs on at the terminal time n and Cn a suitable clubbed binomial distribution, dTV(Wn,Cn)≤ 2.7314 √ ne−(n+1)/3 for all n≥ 1. The result is shown using S...
