The binomial model is widely used in statistical applications. Usually, the success probability, p, and its associated confidence interval are estimated from a random sample. Thus, the observations ...

Confidence Interval Estimate: a range of values so constructed that a specified proportion of the intervals costructed that way would contain the true value of a parameter. Critical Value: a point on ...

Asymptotically, sample proportions from a multinomial distribution converge in distribution to a multivariate normal distribution with a singular negative product correlation structure. Based on this ...

The linkage disequilibrium method is currently the most widely used single sample estimator of genetic effective population size. The commonly used software packages come with two options, referred to ...
