The Maximum Probability 23 c Contingency Tables and the Maximum Probability Points of the Multivariate Hypergeometric Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of obtaining the maximum probability 2 c contingency table with fixed marginal sums, R1⁄4 (R1,R2) and C1⁄4 (C1, . . . ,Cc), and row and column independence is equivalent to the problem of obtaining the maximum probability points (mode) of the multivariate hypergeometric distribution MH(R1; C1, . . . ,Cc). The most simple and general method for these problems is Joe’s (Joe, H. (1988). Extreme probabilities for contingency tables under row and column independencewith application toFisher’s exact test. Commun. Statist. Theory Meth. 17(11):3677–3685.) In this article *Correspondence: F.

Determination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.
متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملAN OPTIMUM APPROACH TOWARDS SEISMIC FRAGILITY FUNCTION OF STRUCTURES THROUGH METAHEURISTIC HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Vulnerability assessment of structures encounter many uncertainties like seismic excitations intensity and response of structures. The most common approach adopted to deal with these uncertainties is vulnerability assessment through fragility functions. Fragility functions exhibit the probability of exceeding a state namely performance-level as a function of seismic intensity. A common approach...
متن کاملBiased Urn Theory
Two different probability distributions are both known in the literature as “the” noncentral hypergeometric distribution. These two distributions will be called Fisher’s and Wallenius’ noncentral hypergeometric distribution, respectively. Both distributions can be associated with the classical experiment of taking colored balls at random from an urn without replacement. If the experiment is unb...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Gaussian Approximations for the Number of Integer Points and Volumes of Polytopes
We describe a maximum entropy approach for computing volumes and counting integer points in polyhedra. To estimate the number of points from a particular set X ⊂ Rn in a polyhedron P ⊂ Rn, by solving a certain entropy maximization problem, we construct a probability distribution on the set X such that a) the probability mass function is constant on the set P ∩X and b) the expectation of the dis...
