pMcGBB: McDonald Generalized Beta Binomial Distribution

Description

These functions provide the ability for generating probability function values and cumulative probability function values for the McDonald Generalized Beta Binomial Distribution.

Usage

pMcGBB(x,n,a,b,c)

Value

The output of pMcGBB gives cumulative probability function values in vector form.

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

n

single value for no of binomial trials.

a

single value for shape parameter alpha representing as a.

b

single value for shape parameter beta representing as b.

c

single value for shape parameter gamma representing as c.

Details

Mixing Generalized Beta Type-1 Distribution with Binomial distribution the probability function value and cumulative probability function can be constructed and are denoted below.

The cumulative probability function is the summation of probability function values.

$$P_{McGBB}(x)= {n \choose x} \frac{1}{B(a,b)} (\sum_{j=0}^{n-x} (-1)^j {n-x \choose j} B(\frac{x}{c}+a+\frac{j}{c},b) ) $$ $$a,b,c > 0$$

The mean, variance and over dispersion are denoted as $$E_{McGBB}[x]= n\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})} $$ $$Var_{McGBB}[x]= n^2(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2) +n(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})}-\frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}) $$ $$over dispersion= \frac{\frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2}{\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2}$$ $$x = 0,1,2,...n$$ $$n = 1,2,3,...$$
