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 ...
For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...
Estimating equations are used to develop simple non-iterative estimates of the κ-coefficient that can be used when there are more than two random raters and/or unbalanced data (each subject is not ...
