Details

Mixing Generalized Beta Type-1 Distribution with Binomial distribution the probability function value and cumulative probability function can be constructed and are denoted below.

The cumulative probability function is the summation of probability function values.

$$P_{McGBB}(x)= {n \choose x} \frac{1}{B(a,b)} (\sum_{j=0}^{n-x} (-1)^j {n-x \choose j} B(\frac{x}{c}+a+\frac{j}{c},b) ) $$ $$a,b,c > 0$$

The mean, variance and over dispersion are denoted as $$E_{McGBB}[x]= n\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})} $$ $$Var_{McGBB}[x]= n^2(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2) +n(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})}-\frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}) $$ $$over dispersion= \frac{\frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2}{\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2}$$ $$x = 0,1,2,...n$$ $$n = 1,2,3,...$$
