The probability mass function of the Altham-multiplicative binomial distribution is

AlthamMultBin(x;a,n,p)≡Pr⁡(X=x)=(nx)px(1−p)n−xax(n−x)F(n)
  • x=0,1,…,n
  • a≥0
  • n∈ℕ0
  • 0≤p≤1
  • q=1−p
  • F(n)=∑j=0n(nj)pj(1−p)n−jaj(n−j)

∼X∼Y: the random variable X is distributed as the random variable Y
≡the distribution in the title is identical with this distribution
⇐the distribution in title is a special case of this distribution
⇒this distribution is a special case of the distribution in the title
←this distribution converges to the distribution in the title
→the distribution in the title converges to this distribution
