The sampling distribution of the index of dispersion

The sampling distribution of the index of dispersion is investigated under each of three distributions for the quadrat counts, namely the Poisson, negative binomial and binomial distributions. Approximations to the sampling distributions are constructed and are evaluated using a computer simulation...

Zusammenfassung:	The sampling distribution of the index of dispersion is investigated under each of three distributions for the quadrat counts, namely the Poisson, negative binomial and binomial distributions. Approximations to the sampling distributions are constructed and are evaluated using a computer simulation study.
