A note on the probability of at least k successes in n correlated binary trials
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain the probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of correlated binary trials as a function of marginal probabilities and correlation coefficients. It is based on Bahadur’s representation of the joint probability distribution of correlated binary trials, truncated to second-order correlations. We provide new results, illustrating the use of this distribution in reliability theory and decision theory.

Densities and excess molar volume of the binary and ternary mixtures formed by nbutylacetate+ 1-butanol + 1,2-butanediol were measured at (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K forthe liquid region and at ambient pressure (81.5) k Pa , for the whole composition range. Theexcess molar volumes,VmE and excess partial molar volume ViE ,were calculated fromexperimental densities.The excess molar volumes are...
متن کاملConfidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملExact bounds on the probability of at least k successes in n exchangeable Bernoulli trials as a function of correlation coefficients
We compute the minimum and maximum of the probability of k or more successes in n exchangeable Bernoulli trials as a function of the correlation coefficients. This probability finds wide application in reliability and decision theory. Since the probability is linear in the coefficients, finding the minimum andmaximum requires solving linear programming problems. We show that the maximum can be ...
متن کاملCompressed Liquid Densities for Binary Mixtures at Temperatures from 280- 440K at Pressures up to 200 MPa
A method for predicting liquid densities of binary mixtures from heat of vaporization and liquid densityat boiling point temperature (ΔHvap and n b ρ ) as scaling constants, is presented. B2(T) follows a promisingcorresponding-states principle. Calculation of α(T) and b(T), the two other temperature-dependentconstants of the equation of state, are made possible by scaling. As a result ΔHvap and...
متن کاملA note on Fouquet-Vanherpe’s question and Fulkerson conjecture
The excessive index of a bridgeless cubic graph $G$ is the least integer $k$, such that $G$ can be covered by $k$ perfect matchings. An equivalent form of Fulkerson conjecture (due to Berge) is that every bridgeless cubic graph has excessive index at most five. Clearly, Petersen graph is a cyclically 4-edge-connected snark with excessive index at least 5, so Fouquet and Vanherpe as...
