Multivariate Generalizations of the Multiplicative Binomial Distribution: Introducing the MM Package
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two natural generalizations of the multinomial and multivariate binomial distributions, which arise from the multiplicative binomial distribution of Altham (1978). The resulting two distributions are discussed and we introduce an R package, MM, which includes associated functionality. This vignette is based on Altham and Hankin (2012).

Introducing the Iranian moss flora explorer
Mosses (a section of bryophytes), are considered as an important group of non-flowering plants which a modern computer-assisted database system is not yet prepared for their determination and description key in Iran. Following a software package recently designed under a research project for assessment of moss diversity of Iran by the authors, the present paper is prepared to: I) introducing co...
متن کاملGeneralizations of the Skew t-Normal Distribution and their Properties
In this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. Also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. Next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, Nickel and Vanadium, associated with crude oil in Shadgan wetland in the south-...
متن کاملAn Alternative to the Beta-Binomial Distribution with Application in Developmental Toxicology
The beta-binomial distribution is resulted when the probability of success per trial in the binomial distribution varies in successive trials and the mixing distribution is from the beta family. For experiments with binary outcomes, often it may happen that observations exhibit some extra binomial variation and occur in clusters. In such experiments the beta-binomial distribution can generally ...
متن کاملMarginal Models with Multiplicative Variance Components for Over-dispersed Binomial Data
SUMMARY A marginal model for the analysis of binomial data involving one or two random factors is presented. Two variance-covariance models are derived based on the multiplicative error formulation. The parameters of mean and variance components are estimated using the quasi-likelihood and method of moments, respectively. An application of the model is illustrated by an analysis of multivariate...
متن کاملControl Chart Based on a Multiplicative-binomial Distribution
The classical Shewhart np-chart that constructed based on the binomial distribution is inappropriate in monitoring over-dispersion and correlated binary data where it tends to overestimate or underestimate the dispersion and subsequently lead to higher or lower false alarm rate in detecting out-of-control signals. Consequently, the np-chart is recommended based on a multiplicative-binomial dist...
