dGammaBin: Gamma Binomial Distribution

Description

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

Usage

dGammaBin(x,n,c,l)

Value

The output of dGammaBin gives a list format consisting

pdf probability function values in vector form.

mean mean of the Gamma Binomial Distribution.

var variance of the Gamma Binomial Distribution.

over.dis.para over dispersion value of the Gamma Binomial Distribution.

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

n

single value for no of binomial trials.

c

single value for shape parameter c.

l

single value for shape parameter l.

Details

Mixing Gamma distribution with Binomial distribution will create the the Gamma Binomial distribution. The probability function and cumulative probability function can be constructed and are denoted below.

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

$$P_{GammaBin}[x]= {n \choose x} \sum_{j=0}^{n-x} {n-x \choose j} (-1)^j (\frac{c}{c+x+j})^l $$ $$c,l > 0$$ $$x = 0,1,2,...,n$$ $$n = 1,2,3,...$$

The mean, variance and over dispersion are denoted as $$E_{GammaBin}[x] = (\frac{c}{c+1})^l$$ $$Var_{GammaBin}[x] = n^2[(\frac{c}{c+2})^l - (\frac{c}{c+1})^{2l}] + n(\frac{c}{c+1})^l{1-)(\frac{c+1}{c+2})^l}$$ $$over dispersion= \frac{(\frac{c}{c+2})^l - (\frac{c}{c+1})^{2l}}{(\frac{c}{c+1})^l[1-(\frac{c}{c+1})^l]}$$
