The problem of unbiased estimation of the parameter θ in the binomial and Poisson distributions is considered. The variance of the estimate is required not to exceed a preassigned bound, B. For the ...
For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...
