This study introduces a Bayesian method for small sample size estimation of multinomial distributions. It accounts for potential misclassification errors in observed data for accurate statistical inference.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Probability Theory
  • Statistical Inference

Background:

  • Multinomial distributions are fundamental in modeling categorical data.
  • Accurate estimation is challenging with small sample sizes.
  • Misclassification probabilities can significantly bias observed data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a Bayesian approach for estimating multinomial distributions with limited data.
  • To incorporate a misclassification matrix into the estimation process.
  • To improve the reliability of statistical inference in small-sample scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Bayesian inference framework.
  • Utilizing apparent distribution and misclassification probabilities.
  • Small-sample estimation techniques.
