	Binomial distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent yes/no experiments, each of which yields success with probability p.
		The binomial distribution is the basis for the popular binomial test of statistical significance.
		The number of HIV-positives you pick is a random variable X which follows a binomial distribution with n = 500 and p =.05.

		As the word 'binomial' suggests, the scientific name of each species is the combination of two names: the genus name and the species epithet.

	Binomial Distribution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The binomial distribution is used when a researcher is interested in the occurrence of an event, not in its magnitude.
		The binomial distribution is specified by the number of observations, n, and the probability of occurence, which is denoted by p.
		A classic example that is used often to illustrate concepts of probability theory, is the tossing of a coin.

	Binomial nomenclature -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As the word 'binomial' suggests, the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of two terms: the ((biology) taxonomic group containing one or more species) genus name and the species epithet or descriptor.
		For this reason the binomial name of a species is sometimes called its "Latin name," although this terminology is frowned upon by biologists.
		He was, however, the first to systematize and popularize binomial nomenclature, and it is only one aspect of his systematical achievements or misachievements (such as oversimplifying fungal systematics).

	The Binomial Distribution
		As a general rule, the binomial distribution should not be applied to observations from a simple random sample (SRS) unless the population size is at least 10 times larger than the sample size.
		The binomial coefficient multiplies the probability of one of these possibilities (which is (1/2)²(1/2)² = 1/16 for a fair coin) by the number of ways the outcome may be achieved, for a total probability of 6/16.
		The binomial distribution for a random variable X with parameters n and p represents the sum of n independent variables Z which may assume the values 0 or 1.

		The binomial distribution is probably the best known of the discrete distributions and a discussion of its properties can be found in most introductory statistics books (Blalock HM, 1960; Wonnacott TH, Wonnacott RJ, 1977).
		The binomial distribution gives you the likelihood of finding 'x' failures (or white or female or large or tail or accidents, only your imagination limits you), as opposed to success (or fl or male or small or heads or cars coming by which didn't have an accident).
		One of the main differences between the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution is that in using the binomial distribution all eligible phenomena are studied, whereas in the Poisson only the cases with a particular outcome are studied.

	Binomial Trees, Forests, and Heaps
		A binomial queue is a forest of binomial trees, where at most one tree of each index may be present.
		If we have labels (keys) on the nodes of a binomial tree, and we impose an ordering property where the parent key is larger than the keys of any of its children, we can construct a heap with a binomial queue.
		For example, this same scheme could be used with the binomial heap where the items in the BST store a pointer to the node in the binary tree representation of the heap, rather than indices in the heap array.

	Binomial distribution
		In statistics the so-called binomial distribution describes the possible number of times that a particular event will occur in a sequence of observations.
		In this instance it is much easier to approximate the binomial probabilities by poisson probabilities.
		For moderate values of p, the binomial distribution approaches the normal distribution if the number of observations is large.

		Binomial expansion refers to a formula by which one can "expand out" expressions like (x+y)^5 and (3x+2)^n, where the entire binomial* is raised to some power.
		Usually, binomial expansion is introduced using a construction called Pascal's Triangle, but I prefer to think of it in terms of something called the binomial coefficient, which I'll explain later.
		In essence, the most common use of binomial expansion is in expression simplification; the expansion is usually done when you expect terms to cancel.

		As the word 'binomial' suggests, the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of two terms: the genus name and the species epithet or descriptor.
		In articles concerning the taxonomy of a species, the date of publication associated with the authorship is added as well, but this practice is rare in encyclopedic or other non-taxonomic works.
		It is a common misconception that Linnaeus also invented binomial nomenclature; in fact it dates back to the Bauhins, who lived nearly 200 years before Linnaeus.

	Arizona Rangelands: Inventory and Monitoring: Binomial Distribution
		Binomial distributions are special sampling distributions generated when an attribute with only two possible outcomes is being recorded from a series of sample units.
		Binomial distributions are also associated with point sampling to determine cover whenever each pin is considered a separate sample unit so that data is collected on a 'hit' basis.
		Sample data following a binomial distribution cannot be analyzed using conventional inferential statistical procedures, which assume that data fits a normal distribution.

		In contrast, the binomial is an open-form or lattice model.

		Because the binomial model already builds-in these illiquidity factors through the vesting restrictions and early exercise assumptions, the binomial accepts the full 10-year term as an input.

		When p = 0.5, cumulative binomial probabilities approximate a normal shape, i.e., they are distributed symmetrically and are unimodal.
		When p does not equal 0.5, the binomial distribution will still be unimodal, but will be skewed.
		When p is greater than 0.5, the distribution will be positively skewed (the peak will be on the left side of the distribution, with relatively fewer observations on the right).

		For European options, binomial trees are not that much used, since the Black Scholes model will give the correct answer, but it is useful to see the construction of the binomial tree without the checks for early exercise, which is the American case.
		In the binomial model, the adjustment for dividends depend on whether the dividends are discrete or proportional.
		In that case the nodes of the binomial tree do not ``link up,'' and the number of branches increases dramatically, which means that the time to do the calculation is increased.
