  2. Continuity correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_correction

    A particular example of this is the binomial test, involving the binomial distribution, as in checking whether a coin is fair. Where extreme accuracy is not necessary, computer calculations for some ranges of parameters may still rely on using continuity corrections to improve accuracy while retaining simplicity.

  3. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    The binomial distribution is the basis for the binomial test of statistical significance. [1] The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size n drawn with replacement from a population of size N. If the sampling is carried out without replacement, the draws are not independent and so the ...

  4. Rule of three (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(statistics)

    The rule can then be derived [2] either from the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution, or from the formula (1−p) n for the probability of zero events in the binomial distribution. In the latter case, the edge of the confidence interval is given by Pr( X = 0) = 0.05 and hence (1− p ) n = .05 so n ln (1– p ) = ln .05 ≈ −2.996.

  5. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  6. Poisson binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_binomial_distribution

    A Poisson binomial distribution can be approximated by a binomial distribution where , the mean of the , is the success probability of . The variances of P B {\displaystyle PB} and B {\displaystyle B} are related by the formula

  7. Binomial test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_test

    The binomial test is useful to test hypotheses about the probability of success: : = where is a user-defined value between 0 and 1.. If in a sample of size there are successes, while we expect , the formula of the binomial distribution gives the probability of finding this value:

  8. Bernstein polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein_polynomial

    Here, we take advantage of the fact that Bernstein polynomials look like Binomial expectations. We split the interval into a lattice of n discrete values. Then, to evaluate any f(x), we evaluate f at one of the n lattice points close to x, randomly chosen by the Binomial distribution. The expectation of this approximation technique is ...

  9. De Moivre–Laplace theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre–Laplace_theorem

    The binomial distribution limit approaches the normal if the binomial satisfies this DE. As the binomial is discrete the equation starts as a difference equation whose limit morphs to a DE. Difference equations use the discrete derivative , p ( k + 1 ) − p ( k ) {\displaystyle \textstyle p(k\!+\!1)\!-\!p(k)} , the change for step size 1.
