An algorithm for the mean and variance of the noncentral hypergeometric distribution

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An algorithm for the mean and variance of the noncentral hypergeometric distribution is presented, based on two equations from Harkness (1965, Annals of Mathematical Statistics 36, 938-945). A FORTRAN subroutine is included in the Appendix.
