In this article we review two historical approximations to the Poisson and binomial cumulative distribution functions (CDFs); that is, the Wilson—Hilferty and Camp—Paulson approximations. Both of ...

A binomial distribution is a statistical probability distribution that summarizes the likelihood that a value will take one of two independent values.

The more widely known binomial distribution is a special type of multinomial distribution in which there are only two possible outcomes, such as true/false or heads/tails.

Ce résultat constitue une extension des travaux de Hodges et LeCam (1960) concernant l'approximation de la distribution binomiale par une Poisson. On présente des applications à la théorie des tests d ...

Second, the binomial distribution assumes that we know the intrinsic probability of an event occurring, as we would with a dice roll or coin flip. But we never really know what a baseball player’s ...
