(n.) A quantity consisting of three terms, connected by the sign + or -; as, x + y + z, or ax + 2b - c2.
(a.) Consisting of three terms; of or pertaining to trinomials; as, a trinomial root.
Example Sentences:
(1) This paper presents a Dirichlet-trinomial distribution for modelling data obtained from reproductive and developmental studies.
(2) The Dirichlet-trinomial model provides a procedure for the analysis of multiple endpoints simultaneously.
(3) This proposed Dirichlet-trinomial model is a generalization of the beta-binomial model that has been used for handling the litter effect in reproductive and developmental experiments.
(4) The pretrial and trial data can be analysed by negative trinomial models.
(5) It is proposed to use a trinomial system of nomenclature for these groups: Babesia canis canis (Piana and Galli-Valerio, 1895), Babesia canis vogeli Reichenow, 1937, and Babesia canis rossi (Nuttall, 1910), having Dermacentor, Rhipicephalus and Haemaphysalis ticks as their vectors respectively.
(6) The proposed test procedure based on the Dirichlet-trinomial model is compared with that based on the beta-binomial model with an application to a real data set.
(7) If both camps were in operation throughout the migration and if the probability of missing a whale were constant, the removal method would provide a population size estimate based on a trinomial model in which the size of the population would be the number of trials, whales counted by each camp would provide the observed cell totals, and whales missed by both camps would represent an unobserved cell total.
(8) Since the probability of missing a whale depends on visibility, we model the population size as the sum of the number of trials of several independent trinomial distributions, each of which represents a particular visibility condition occurring during the census.
