The Binomial Test

The Binomial test, sometimes referred to as the Binomial exact test, is a test used in sampling statistics to assess whether a proportion of a binary variable is equal to some hypothesized value. In ...

Estimators with Prescribed Bound on the Variance for the Parameters in the Binomial and Poisson Distributions, Based on Two-Stage Sampling

The problem of unbiased estimation of the parameter θ in the binomial and Poisson distributions is considered. The variance of the estimate is required not to exceed a preassigned bound, B. For the ...

Inverse Binomial Sampling

IN a recent communication discussing the application of the sampling method described by Haldane 1, Tweedie 2 states that the method was described as a technique for using hæmocytometers. This is not ...
