Exploring Beta-Like Distributions

Methodology 2015-03-04 v1

Abstract

The most well known probability distribution of probabilities is the Beta distribution. If we have observed rr `successes', each having a probability θ\theta, and nrn-r `failures', each having a probability 1θ1-\theta. In this paper we will derive a whole family of Beta-like distributions, which take as their data not only the number of successes and failures, but also values on predictor variables and time to failure or time without failure.
