Binomial Probabilities, as calculated or estimated according to one or more of the following methods:
» Exact binomial probabilities
» Approximation via the normal distribution
» Approximation via the Poisson distribution
Fitting an Observed Frequency Distribution to the Closest Poisson Distribution. The programming on this page will find the Poisson distribution that most closely fits an observed frequency distribution.
For Sequential Sampling: Pascal (Negative Binomial) Probabilities. For a situation in which independent binomial events are randomly sampled in sequence, this page will calculate (a) the probability that you will end up with exactly k instances of the outcome in question, with the final (kth) instance occurring on trial N; and (b) the probability that you will have to sample at least N events before finding the kth instance of the outcome.
Chi-Square "Goodness of Fit" Test for up to 8 mutually exclusive categories; with an option for estimating the relevant probability, in the case of small samples, via Monte Carlo simulation of the multinomial sampling distribution.
