Poisson Probability Distribution01:09

Poisson Probability Distribution

12.5K
A Poisson probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events happen at a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. For example, a book editor might be interested in the number of words spelled incorrectly in a particular book. It might be that, on average, there are five words spelled incorrectly in 100 pages. The interval is 100 pages.

Binomial Probability Distribution

16.7K
A binomial distribution is a probability distribution for a procedure with a fixed number of trials, where each trial can have only two outcomes.
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...

Probability Distributions

13.4K
 The probability of a random variable x  is the likelihood of its occurrence. A probability distribution represents the probabilities of a random variable using a formula, graph, or table. There are two types of probability distribution– discrete probability distribution and continuous probability distribution.
A discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution of discrete random variables. It can be categorized into binomial probability distribution and Poisson...

Applications of Integration to Probability Density Functions

150
Continuous probability distributions are used to model random variables that can take on any real value within a specified range. These variables do not take on isolated or countable values but rather exist on a continuum. For example, the height of an individual can be measured with increasing precision—such as 163.5 or 165.25 centimeters—demonstrating that height is a continuous random variable.The behavior of such variables is described using a probability density function (PDF),...

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

5.7K
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    We introduce a new Bayesian topic model, latent IBP compound Dirichlet allocation (LIDA), that effectively handles large numbers of topics and power-law vocabulary distributions in text corpora. This sparse model offers more interpretable results than existing methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational Linguistics
    • Machine Learning
    • Statistical Modeling

    Background:

    • Natural language processing often involves analyzing large text corpora with a vast number of topics.
    • Traditional topic models may not adequately capture the power-law distributions observed in natural language vocabulary and topic prevalence.
    • Existing nonparametric Bayesian methods like Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) and Hierarchical Pitman-Yor Process (HPYP) have limitations in modeling these characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel four-parameter IBP compound Dirichlet process (ICDP) for generating sparse, power-law distributed data.
    • To develop a nonparametric Bayesian topic model, latent IBP compound Dirichlet allocation (LIDA), leveraging ICDP for sparse topic modeling.
    • To enable topic models that account for both the large number of topics and the power-law distribution of words within topics.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the four-parameter IBP compound Dirichlet process (ICDP) for sparse data generation.
    • Application of ICDP to create the latent IBP compound Dirichlet allocation (LIDA) model for topic modeling.
    • Derivation of an efficient collapsed Gibbs sampler for LIDA, analogous to the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) sampler.
    • Comparison of LIDA against HDP and HPYP on benchmark corpora.

    Main Results:

    • The LIDA model successfully incorporates power-law distributions in both the number of topics per document and the number of words per topic.
    • Experiments show LIDA outperforms HDP and HPYP on benchmark datasets.
    • The derived Gibbs sampler is efficient and facilitates broad applicability of the LIDA model.
    • Accounting for power-law distributions in sparse data significantly improves topic interpretability.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed LIDA model, based on the ICDP, provides a powerful and interpretable nonparametric Bayesian approach to topic modeling.
    • LIDA effectively addresses the challenges posed by large topic numbers and power-law characteristics in real-world text data.
    • The model's sparsity and ability to capture power-law distributions lead to more meaningful and discoverable insights from text corpora.
