Multiplicative Binomial: Multiplicative Binomial Distribution

Description

These functions provide information about the multiplicative binomial distribution with parameters m and s: density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, and random generation.

The multiplicative binomial distribution with total \(= n\) and prob \(= m\) has density $$p(y) = c({n}, {m}, {s}){n \choose y} {m}^{y} {(1-m)}^{n-y} {s}^{(y(n-y))} $$ for \(y = 0, \ldots, n\), where c(.) is a normalizing constant.

Usage

dmultbinom(y, size, m, s, log=FALSE)
pmultbinom(q, size, m, s)
qmultbinom(p, size, m, s)
rmultbinom(n, size, m, s)

Arguments

y

vector of frequencies

q

vector of quantiles

p

vector of probabilities

n

number of values to generate

size

vector of totals

m

vector of probabilities of success

s

vector of overdispersion parameters

log

if TRUE, log probabilities are supplied.
