In fitODBOD: Modeling Over Dispersed Binomial Outcome Data Using BMD and ABD

Beta-Correlated Binomial Distribution

Description

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

Usage

dBetaCorrBin(x,n,cov,a,b)

Arguments

x	vector of binomial random variables.
n	single value for no of binomial trials.
cov	single value for covariance.
a	single value for alpha parameter.
b	single value for beta parameter.

Details

The probability function and cumulative function can be constructed and are denoted below

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

x = 0,1,2,3,...n

n = 1,2,3,...

0 < a,b

-\infty < cov < +\infty

0 < p < 1

p=\frac{a}{a+b}

\Theta=\frac{1}{a+b}

The Correlation is in between

\frac{-2}{n(n-1)} min(\frac{p}{1-p},\frac{1-p}{p}) \le correlation \le \frac{2p(1-p)}{(n-1)p(1-p)+0.25-fo}

where fo=min [(x-(n-1)p-0.5)^2]

The mean and the variance are denoted as

E_{BetaCorrBin}[x]= np

Var_{BetaCorrBin}[x]= np(1-p)(n\Theta+1)(1+\Theta)^{-1}+n(n-1)cov

Corr_{BetaCorrBin}[x]=\frac{cov}{p(1-p)}

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.

Value

The output of dBetaCorrBin gives a list format consisting

pdf probability function values in vector form.

mean mean of Beta-Correlated Binomial Distribution.

var variance of Beta-Correlated Binomial Distribution.

corr correlation of Beta-Correlated Binomial Distribution.

mincorr minimum correlation value possible.

maxcorr maximum correlation value possible.
