We consider the problem of estimating the parameter p of a Binomial(n,p) distribution when p lies in the symmetric interval about 1/2 of the form [a, 1 - a], with a ∈ (0, 1/2). For a class of loss ...
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 ...
