释义

Binomial Distribution

The probability of successes in Bernoulli Trials is

(1)

The probability of obtaining more successes than the

observed is

(2)

where

(3)

is the Beta Function, and

is the incomplete Beta Function. The CharacteristicFunction is

(4)

The Moment-Generating Function

for the distribution is



			(5)
			(6)

			(7)

The Mean is

(8)

The Moments about 0 are

			(9)
			(10)
			(11)

			(12)

so the Moments about the Mean are



			(13)

			(14)

			(15)

The Skewness and Kurtosis are


			(16)
			(17)

An approximation to the Bernoulli distribution for large

can be obtained by expanding about the value

where

is a maximum, i.e., where

. Since the Logarithm function is Monotonic, we can instead choose to expand the Logarithm. Let

, then

(18)

where

(19)

But we are expanding about the maximum, so, by definition,

(20)

This also means that

is negative, so we can write

. Now, taking the Logarithm of (1) gives

(21)

For large

and

we can use Stirling's Approximation

(22)

			(23)


			(24)

and

(25)

To find

, set this expression to 0 and solve for

(26)

(27)

(28)

(29)

since

. We can now find the terms in the expansion



			(30)


			(31)




			(32)

Now, treating the distribution as continuous,

(33)

Since each term is of order

smaller than the previous, we can ignore terms higher than

, so

(34)

The probability must be normalized, so

(35)

and


			(36)

Defining

(37)

which is a Gaussian Distribution. For

, a different approximation procedure shows that the binomialdistribution approaches the Poisson Distribution. The first Cumulant is

(38)

and subsequent Cumulants are given by the Recurrence Relation

(39)

Let and be independent binomial Random Variables characterized by parameters and . The Conditional Probability of given that is


	(40)

Note that this is a Hypergeometric Distribution!
