pTriBin function

Triangular Binomial Distribution

These functions provide the ability for generating probability function values and cumulative probability function values for the Triangular Binomial distribution.

pTriBin(x,n,mode)

Arguments

• x: vector of binomial random variables
• n: single value for no of binomial trials
• mode: single value for mode

Returns

The output of pTriBin gives cumulative probability function values in vector form.

Details

Mixing unit bounded Triangular distribution with Binomial distribution will create Triangular 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

Defined as $B_c(a,b)=\int^c_0 t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1} \,dt$ is incomplete beta integrals and $B(a,b)$ is the beta function.

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.

Examples

#plotting the random variables and probability values
col <- rainbow(7)
x <- seq(0.1,0.7,by=0.1)
plot(0,0,main="Triangular binomial probability function graph",xlab="Binomial random variable",
ylab="Probability function values",xlim = c(0,10),ylim = c(0,.3))
for (i in 1:7)
{
lines(0:10,dTriBin(0:10,10,x[i])$pdf,col = col[i],lwd=2.85)
points(0:10,dTriBin(0:10,10,x[i])$pdf,col = col[i],pch=16)
}

dTriBin(0:10,10,.4)$pdf        #extracting the pdf values
dTriBin(0:10,10,.4)$mean       #extracting the mean
