dCorrBin: Correlated Binomial Distribution

Description

These functions provide the ability for generating probability function values and cumulative probability function values for the Correlated Binomial Distribution.

Usage

dCorrBin(x,n,p,cov)

Value

The output of dCorrBin gives a list format consisting

pdf probability function values in vector form.

mean mean of Correlated Binomial Distribution.

var variance of Correlated Binomial Distribution.

corr correlation of Correlated Binomial Distribution.

mincorr minimum correlation value possible.

maxcorr maximum correlation value possible.

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

n

single value for no of binomial trials.

p

single value for probability of success.

cov

single value for covariance.

Details

The probability function and cumulative function can be constructed and are denoted below

The cumulative probability function is the summation of probability function values.

$$P_{CorrBin}(x) = {n \choose x}(p^x)(1-p)^{n-x}(1+(\frac{cov}{2p^2(1-p)^2})((x-np)^2+x(2p-1)-np^2)) $$ $$x = 0,1,2,3,...n$$ $$n = 1,2,3,...$$ $$0 < p < 1$$ $$-\infty < cov < +\infty $$

The Correlation is in between $$\frac{-2}{n(n-1)} min(\frac{p}{1-p},\frac{1-p}{p}) \le correlation \le \frac{2p(1-p)}{(n-1)p(1-p)+0.25-fo} $$ where \(fo=min [(x-(n-1)p-0.5)^2] \)

The mean and the variance are denoted as $$E_{CorrBin}[x]= np$$ $$Var_{CorrBin}[x]= n(p(1-p)+(n-1)cov)$$ $$Corr_{CorrBin}[x]=\frac{cov}{p(1-p)}$$

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
