The binomial distribution is an important discrete distribution. It gives the probability of the number of "successes," in a sequence of n independent binary trials. This applet allows users to drag ...

A popular way to model overdispersed count data, such as the number of falls reported during intervention studies, is by means of the negative binomial (NB) distribution. Classical estimating methods ...

Improved estimators are also obtained for the problems in which some of the observations are from Poisson families and some from Negative Binomial families. For sum of squared errors loss, estimators ...
