On characterizing the Pólya distribution

Héctor M. Ramos, David Almorza, Juan A. García–Ramos (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper two characterizations of the Pólya distribution are obtained when its contagion parameter is negative. One of them is based on mixtures and the other one is obtained by characterizing a subfamily of the discrete Pearson system.

A compound of the generalized negative binomial distribution with the generalized beta distribution

Tadeusz Gerstenkorn (2004)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

This paper presents a compound of the generalized negative binomial distribution with the generalized beta distribution. In the introductory part of the paper, we provide a chronological overview of recent developments in the compounding of distributions, including the Polish results. Then, in addition to presenting the probability function of the compound generalized negative binomial-generalized beta distribution, we present special cases as well as factorial and crude moments of some...

Bounds on the information divergence for hypergeometric distributions

Peter Harremoës, František Matúš (2020)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The hypergeometric distributions have many important applications, but they have not had sufficient attention in information theory. Hypergeometric distributions can be approximated by binomial distributions or Poisson distributions. In this paper we present upper and lower bounds on information divergence. These bounds are important for statistical testing and for a better understanding of the notion of exchangeability.

On the use of difference of two proportions

Saralees Nadarajah (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Differences of two proportions occur most frequently in biomedical research. However, as far as published work is concerned, only approximations have been used to study the distribution of such differences. In this note, we derive the exact probability distribution of the difference of two proportions for seven flexible beta type distributions. The expressions involve several well known special functions. The use of these results with respect to known approximations is illustrated. ...

k-th rekord values from Dagum distribution and characterization

Devendra Kumar (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this study, we gave some new explicit expressions and recurrence relations satisfied by single and product moments of k-th lower record values from Dagum distribution. Next we show that the result for the record values from the Dagum distribution can be derived from our result as special case. Further, using a recurrence relation for single moments and conditional expectation of record values we obtain characterization of Dagum distribution. In addition, we use the established explicit...

Muliere and Scarsini's bivariate Pareto distribution: sums, products and ratios.

Saralees Nadarajah, Samuel Kotz (2005)

SORT

Similarity:

We derive the exact distributions of R = X + Y, P = X Y and W = X / (X + Y) and the corresponding moment properties when X and Y follow Muliere and Scarsini's bivariate Pareto distribution. The expressions turn out to involve special functions. We also provide extensive tabulations of the percentage points associated with the distributions. These tables -obtained using intensive computer power- will be of use to the practitioners of the bivariate Pareto distribution.
