Circular Polya distributions of order k
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003 Two circular Polya distributions of order k are derived by means of generalized urn models and by compounding, respectively, the type I and type II circular binomial distributions of order k of Makri and Philippou (1994) with the beta distribution. It is

The Overlooked Potential of Generalized Linear Models in Astronomy-III: Bayesian Negative Binomial Regression and Globular Cluster Populations [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, the third in a series illustrating the power of generalized linear models (GLMs) for the astronomical community, we elucidate the potential of the class of GLMs which handles count data.

A beta-Poisson model for infectious disease transmission.
PLoS Computational BiologyOutbreaks of emerging and zoonotic infections represent a substantial threat to human health and well-being. These outbreaks tend to be characterised by highly stochastic transmission dynamics with intense variation in transmission potential between ...

Statistical Tests for Extreme Precipitation Volumes
Mathematics, 2019 The analysis of the real observations of precipitation based on the novel statistical approach using the negative binomial distribution as a model for describing the random duration of a wet period is considered and discussed.

A vine copula mixed effect model for trivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting for disease prevalence [PDF]
, 2015 A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that it is superior to the standard generalized linear mixed model in this context.

Priors for Random Count Matrices Derived from a Family of Negative Binomial Processes
, 2015 We define a family of probability distributions for random count matrices with a potentially unbounded number of rows and columns. The three distributions we consider are derived from the gamma-Poisson, gamma-negative binomial, and beta-negative binomial

A Bayesian adaptive marker‐stratified design for molecularly targeted agents with customized hierarchical modeling [PDF]
, 2019 It is well known that the treatment effect of a molecularly targeted agent (MTA) may vary dramatically, depending on each patient's biomarker profile. Therefore, for a clinical trial evaluating MTA, it is more reasonable to evaluate its treatment effect ...
