Bounds on tail probabilities for negative binomial distributions

Peter Harremoës (2016)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we derive various bounds on tail probabilities of distributions for which the generated exponential family has a linear or quadratic variance function. The main result is an inequality relating the signed log-likelihood of a negative binomial distribution with the signed log-likelihood of a Gamma distribution. This bound leads to a new bound on the signed log-likelihood of a binomial distribution compared with a Poisson distribution that can be used to prove an intersection...

Approximate Bayesian methods.

Dennis V. Lindley (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

This paper develops asymptotic expensions for the ratios of integrals that occur in Bayesian analysis: for example, the posterior mean. The first term omitted is 0(n) and it is shown how the term 0(n) can be of importance.

New generalization of compound Rayleigh distribution: Different estimation methods based on progressive type-II censoring schemes and applications

Omid Shojaee, Reza Azimi (2025)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Fitting a suitable distribution to the data from a real experiment is a crucial topic in statistics. However, many of the existing distributions cannot account for the effect of environmental conditions on the components under test. Moreover, the components are usually heterogeneous, meaning that they do not share the same distribution. In this article, we aim to obtain a new generalization of the Compound Rayleigh distribution by using mixture models and incorporating the environmental...

A multimodal beta distribution with application to economic data

Saralees Nadarajah, Samuel Kotz (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Beta distributions are popular models for economic data. In this paper, a new multimodal beta distribution with bathtub shaped failure rate function is introduced. Various structural properties of this distribution are derived, including its cdf, moments, mean deviation about the mean, mean deviation about the median, entropy, asymptotic distribution of the extreme order statistics, maximum likelihood estimates and the Fisher information matrix. Finally, an application to consumer price...

The likelihood ratio test for general mixture models with or without structural parameter

Jean-Marc Azaïs, Élisabeth Gassiat, Cécile Mercadier (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing hypotheses on the mixing measure in mixture models with or without structural parameter. The main result gives the asymptotic distribution of the LRT statistics under some conditions that are proved to be almost necessary. A detailed solution is given for two testing problems: the test of a single distribution against any mixture, with application to Gaussian, Poisson and binomial distributions; the test of the number...
