A comparison of statistical methods for modeling count data with an application to hospital length of stay

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2022
Background Hospital length of stay (LOS) is a key indicator of hospital care management efficiency, cost of care, and hospital planning. Hospital LOS is often used as a measure of a post-medical procedure outcome, as a guide to the benefit of a treatment

Comparison of different statistical models for the analysis of fracture events: findings from the Prevention of Falls Injury Trial (PreFIT)

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2023
Background Fractures are rare events and can occur because of a fall. Fracture counts are distinct from other count data in that these data are positively skewed, inflated by excess zero counts, and events can recur over time.

NEGATIVE BINOMIAL REGRESSION AND GENERALIZED POISSON REGRESSION MODELS ON THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN CENTRAL JAVA

open access: yesBarekeng, 2022
Traffic accidents that always increase along with the increasing population growth and the number of vehicles impact the national economy. The number of traffic accidents is a count data that a Poisson distribution can approximate. The Poisson regression

Generalized ridge estimator in negative binomial regression model

open access: yes, 2021
The ridge estimator has been consistently demonstrated to be an attractive shrinkage method to reduce the effects of multicollinearity. The negative binomial regression model (NBRM) is a well-known model in application when the response variable is a ...

Modeling the Count Data of Public Health Service Visits with Overdispersion Problem by Using Negative Binomial Regression

open access: yes, 2021
The count data of health service visits can be modeled into Poisson regression analysis, where there is no overdispersion assumption by looking at the comparison between mean and variance.

Using Zero-inflated Count Regression Models To Estimate The Fertility Of U. S. Women [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In the modeling of count variables there is sometimes a preponderance of zero counts. This article concerns the estimation of Poisson regression models (PRM) and negative binomial regression models (NBRM) to predict the average number of children ever ...

BayesX: Analysing Bayesian structured additive regression models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
There has been much recent interest in Bayesian inference for generalized additive and related models. The increasing popularity of Bayesian methods for these and other model classes is mainly caused by the introduction of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
