A Discrete Multivariate Distribution Resulting from the Law of Small Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present article we derive a new discrete multivariate distribution using a limiting argument that is essentially the same as the law of small numbers. The distribution derived belongs to an exponential family, and randomly partitions positive integers. The facts shown about the distribution are useful in many fields of application involved with count data. The derivation parallels that of the Ewens distribution from the gamma distribution, and the new distribution is produced from the inverse Gaussian distribution. The method employed is regarded as the discretization of an infinitely divisible distribution over nonnegative real numbers.

Application of Benford’s Law in Analyzing Geotechnical Data
Benford’s law predicts the frequency of the first digit of numbers met in a wide range of naturally occurring phenomena. In data sets, following Benford’s law, numbers are started with a small leading digit more often than those with a large leading digit. This law can be used as a tool for detecting fraud and abnormally in the number sets and any fabricated number sets. This can be used as an ...
متن کاملBenford Distribution and its Applications
This papers considers the Benford distribution as one the interesting rules of probability theory. This rule shows that, despite of usual underestanding about the uniform distribution of digites for lieing on different positions in numbers, digits are distributed according to an non uniform distributions for numbers araising from many natural phonemena. Benford distribution proposes ...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data
The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...

1. Main theorem. In this paper, we consider parameters defined on random discrete processes. When the parameters change by only a small amount from one state in the process to the next, one often finds that the parameters satisfy a law of large numbers, that is, the parameters are sharply concentrated around certain values. Wormald [6] gives some general criteria which ensure that given paramet...

The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
