dTriBin: Triangular Binomial Distribution

Description

These functions provide the ability for generating probability function values and cumulative probability function values for the Triangular Binomial distribution.

Usage

dTriBin(x,n,mode)

Value

The output of dTriBin gives a list format consisting

pdf probability function values in vector form.

mean mean of the Triangular Binomial Distribution.

var variance of the Triangular Binomial Distribution.

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

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

n

single value for no of binomial trials.

mode

single value for mode.

Details

Mixing unit bounded Triangular distribution with Binomial distribution will create Triangular 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.

$$P_{TriBin}(x)= 2 {n \choose x}(c^{-1}B_c(x+2,n-x+1)+(1-c)^{-1}B(x+1,n-x+2)-(1-c)^{-1}B_c(x+1,n-x+2))$$ $$0 < mode=c < 1$$ $$x = 0,1,2,...n$$ $$n = 1,2,3...$$

The mean, variance and over dispersion are denoted as $$E_{TriiBin}[x]= \frac{n(1+c)}{3} $$ $$Var_{TriBin}[x]= \frac{n(n+3)}{18}-\frac{n(n-3)c(1-c)}{18} $$ $$over dispersion= \frac{(1-c+c^2)}{2(2+c-c^2)} $$

Defined as \(B_c(a,b)=\int^c_0 t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1} \,dt\) is incomplete beta integrals and \(B(a,b)\) is the beta function.
