Correspondence between generalized binomial field states and coherent atomic states
2008
We show that the N-photon generalized binomial states of electromagnetic field may be put in a bijective mapping with the coherent atomic states of N two-level atoms. We exploit this correspondence to simply obtain both known and new properties of the N-photon generalized binomial states. In particular, an over-complete basis of these binomial states and an orthonormal basis are obtained. Finally, the squeezing properties of generalized binomial state are analyzed.
Approximation Operators of Binomial Type
1999
Our objective is to present a unified theory of the approximation operators of binomial type by exploiting the main technique of the so- called “ umbral calculus” or “finite operator calculus” (see [18], [20]-[22]). Let us consider the basic sequence (bn)n≥0 associated to a certain delta operator Q. By supposing that b n (x) ≥ 0, x ∈ [0, ∞), our purpose is to put in evidence some approximation properties of the linear positive operators (L Q n ) n≥1 which are defined on C[0,1] by \( L_n^Qf = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {\beta _n^Q{,_k}f\left( {\frac{k}{n}} \right),\beta _{n{,_k}}^Q\left( x \right): = } \frac{1}{{{b_n}\left( n \right)}}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n \\ k \end{array}} \right){b_…
A generalization of the Binomial distribution based on the dependence ratio
2014
We propose a generalization of the Binomial distribution, called DR-Binomial, which accommodates dependence among units through a model based on the dependence ratio (Ekholm et al., Biometrika, 82, 1995, 847). Properties of the DR-Binomial are discussed, and the constraints on its parameter space are studied in detail. Likelihood-based inference is presented, using both the joint and profile likelihoods; the usefulness of the DR-Binomial in applications is illustrated on a real dataset displaying negative unit-dependence, and hence under-dispersion compared with the Binomial. Although the DR-Binomial turns out to be a reparameterization of Altham's Additive-Binomial and Kupper–Haseman's Cor…
