Binomial Probability Distribution01:15

Binomial Probability Distribution

14.7K
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

11.2K
 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...

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

4.8K
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...

Poisson Probability Distribution01:09

Poisson Probability Distribution

11.2K
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.

Probability Histograms

12.9K
A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

940
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

  • Probability Theory
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Inferring joint distributions is fundamental in statistics.
  • Copulas are effective for continuous variables but less explored for discrete ones.
  • Discrete data analysis requires specialized methods for dependence modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a nonparametric method for estimating joint discrete distributions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized copulas for modeling dependence structures.
  • Employed Bernstein polynomials for nonparametric estimation.
  • Focused on discrete variables with bounded support.
  • Applied the method to obsessive-compulsive disorder patient data.

Main Results:

  • Successfully estimated joint discrete distributions using the proposed nonparametric approach.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of copulas and Bernstein polynomials in this context.
  • Provided a novel analytical tool for discrete data, exemplified by OCD data.

Conclusions:

  • The nonparametric copula-based method with Bernstein polynomials is effective for joint discrete distribution estimation.
