pGammaBin function

Gamma Binomial Distribution

These functions provide the ability for generating probability function values and cumulative probability function values for the Gamma Binomial Distribution.

pGammaBin(x,n,c,l)

Arguments

• x: vector of binomial random variables.
• n: single value for no of binomial trials.
• c: single value for shape parameter c.
• l: single value for shape parameter l.

Returns

The output of pGammaBin gives cumulative probability values in vector form.

Details

Mixing Gamma distribution with Binomial distribution will create the the Gamma Binomial distribution. The probability function and cumulative probability function can be constructed and are denoted below.

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

The mean, variance and over dispersion are denoted as

Examples

#plotting the random variables and probability values
col <- rainbow(5)
a <- c(1,2,5,10,0.2)
plot(0,0,main="Gamma-binomial probability function graph",xlab="Binomial random variable",
ylab="Probability function values",xlim = c(0,10),ylim = c(0,0.5))
for (i in 1:5)
{
lines(0:10,dGammaBin(0:10,10,a[i],a[i])$pdf,col = col[i],lwd=2.85)
points(0:10,dGammaBin(0:10,10,a[i],a[i])$pdf,col = col[i],pch=16)
}

dGammaBin(0:10,10,4,.2)$pdf    #extracting the pdf values
dGammaBin(0:10,10,4,.2)$mean   #extracting the mean
dGammaBin(0:10,10,4,.2)$var    #extracting the variance
dGammaBin(0:10,10,4,.2)$over.dis.para  #extracting the over dispersion value

#plotting the random variables and cumulative probability values
col <- rainbow(4)
a <- c(1,2,5,10)
plot(0,0,main="Cumulative probability function graph",xlab="Binomial random variable",
ylab="Cumulative probability function values",xlim = c(0,10),ylim = c(0,1))
for (i in 1:4)
{
lines(0:10,pGammaBin(0:10,10,a[i],a[i]),col = col[i])
points(0:10,pGammaBin(0:10,10,a[i],a[i]),col = col[i])
}

pGammaBin(0:10,10,4,.2)   #acquiring the cumulative probability values
