Some of the methods of estimation of allele frequencies and inbreeding coefficients in a K-allele model are examined. A result that has long been assumed to be true is proved. That is, in the presence of inbreeding, the maximum likelihood estimators of the allele frequencies and of the...

In this note we are concerned with the inflated-parameter binomial distribution, which is a generalization of the classical binomial distribution. We show that there exists exactly one renewal process such that the number of renewals has an inflated-parameter binomial distribution.

In this paper, recursive equations for waiting time distributions of r-th occurrence of a compound pattern are studied via the finite Markov chain imbedding technique under overlapping and non-overlapping counting schemes in sequences of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) or Markov...

This article considers goodness-of-fit tests for bivariate INAR and bivariate Poisson autoregression models. The test statistics are based on an L2-type distance between two estimators of the probability generating function of the observations: one being entirely nonparametric and the second one...
