2 Basics of the Biomial Distributio The biomial distributio arises from the summatio of Ideedet ad Idetically Distributed (IID) Beroulli R.V. 1, 0,0, 1, 1 The, 1 0. "" As described reviously, the umber of sequeces with exactly k oes i N trials is based o the combiatorial comutatio of the biomial coefficiet.

The egative biomial distributio is based o to get k heads, how may ideedet flis,, are eeded? To build u to the kth head o the th fli, the k-1 head must have occurred i -1 flis. Therefore, the rior umber is a biomial robability i -1 ad k-1 ad the fial fli is based o, 1 1, 1 1, As a ote, the egative biomial ca be thought of as the sum of k geometric radom variables (where the geometric RV is thought of as a sequece of tails followed by a head ad oe egative biomial is the summatio of k geometric R.V. ) If this relatio holds, the mea ad variace ca be comuted from the mea ad variace of the geometric sequece!

We really wat to talk about outs istead of hits therefore use =1.0.3=0.7. There are three outs, so k=3. Now figure out for =3, 4, 5, etc , What would be the umber of exected batters er iig?

14 6.6 Biomial Estimatio I exerimetal cases whe success ad failure or ositive ad egative results ca occur based o assumed to be ideedet trials, the statistic ca rovide arameters to model (ad simulate) the uderlyig robabilistic exerimets. Biomial equatio estimatio: The mea ad the variace of the biomial, if estimated rovide! 1 For a exerimet with trials, we observe that k successes occurred. Let Uder our assumtio This is a ubiased estimate. The variace of the estimate ca be comuted as As the variace i the estimate goes to zero as icreases, it is also a cosist estimator. Ubiased: the exected value of the estimator equals the value beig estimated. Cosistet: the variace i the estimator goes to zero as goes to ifiity. For may discrete robability models, the estimatio of the mea or mea ad variace rovide all the iformatio required to defie the mf to be used i the model.

17 ALOHANET Probabilistic cocets origially develoed i Hawaii htts://e.wikiedia.org/wiki/alohaet The cocet is based o wireless commuicatio usig a star etwork toology. Assume that the cetral ode of a start trasmits ackets that are received by all the etwork members. This commuicatios occurs at oe frequecy while ay resoses from the etwork members occurs at a searate frequecy. I resoses, the etwork member commuicatio could collide with other members. Whe a acket was correctly received a ackowledgemet was set. If o ackowledgemet was received, the members would have to rebroadcast their message. I slotted ALOHA, the trasmissio time eriods are eriodically defied as time slots. Trasmissios ca oly begi i a time slot ad ot at ay radom time. The robability of a collisio could be comuted ad messages were cosidered either successes or failures At low umber of users ad caacity, this is t a great roblem but First: robability of a message beig trasmitted by 0, 1, or more Usig egative rob Usig the Poisso aroximatio for the Biomial! 0 1 For maximum throughut at a sigle user, study the Pr(N=1) curve.

19 6.8 Error Cotrol Codes We ca assume that there is a defied umber of bit error i ay data trasmissio. If we look at a biary stream, we ca assess usig a biomial, the exected umber of bit errors i a bit trasmissio. The bit errors i a bit symbol or eve the bit errors i a b bit ecoded symbol. If the symbol trasmitted has sufficiet redudacy, the origial symbol ca be recovered eve if oe or more bits are i error. The ecodig rocess ca be called Forward Error Correctio. The simlest system is trasmittig 3 or more redudat bits for each bit desired a reetitio by three code. For a three bit ecodig scheme, the received robabilities ca be see as The bit error robabilities for three bit symbols would be Notes ad figures are based o or take from materials i the course textbook: Charles Bocelet,, Probability, Statistics, ad Radom Sigals, Oxford Uiversity Press, February 016.

There are may others that have well defied structures ad erformace. Overall redudat bits are added to the data to allow a outut message with a defied umber of bit errors to be correctly decoded.
