homogeneity testing for peak flow in catchments in the
... Estimation of the at-site scale parameter and corresponding extreme value distribution. This paper focuses on the application and comparison of techniques for (1) homogeneity testing as well as (2) the identif ication of regional distributions. Flow data from the Lake Victoria subbasins in Kenya and ...

Determining and Controlling the False Positive Rate
... Interaction terms and the multiple comparison problem We begin by considering the following question: when we aim to assess the marginal effect of x on y (∂y/∂x) at different values of a conditioning variable z, how likely will at least one marginal effect come up statistically significant by chanc ...

Examples of Negative Binomial Distribution
... Let's reconsider the above problem from Example 1. This time, we'll ask a slightly different question: What is the probability that Bob makes his first free throw on his fifth shot? Solution: This is an example of a geometric distribution, which is a special case of a negative binomial distribution. ...
