Does anthropometric status at 6 months predict the over-dispersion of malaria infections in children aged 6–18 months? A prospective cohort study [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2019 Background In malaria-endemic settings, a small proportion of children suffer repeated malaria infections, contributing to most of the malaria cases, yet underlying factors are not fully understood.

Indexing of US Counties with Overdispersed Incidences of COVID-19 Deaths
Mathematics, 2023 The number of COVID-19 fatalities fluctuated widely across United States (US) counties. The number of deaths is stochastic. When the average number of deaths is equal to the dispersion, the distribution is the usual Poisson.

Discrete Pseudo Lindley Distribution: Properties, Estimation and Application on INAR(1) Process
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2021 In this paper, we introduce a discrete version of the Pseudo Lindley (PsL) distribution, namely, the discrete Pseudo Lindley (DPsL) distribution, and systematically study its mathematical properties. Explicit forms gathered for the properties such as the

The Binomial–Natural Discrete Lindley Distribution: Properties and Application to Count Data
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2022 In this paper, a new discrete distribution called Binomial–Natural Discrete Lindley distribution is proposed by compounding the binomial and natural discrete Lindley distributions.

Intragenomic Conflict over Dispersal [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2015 Intragenomic conflict may arise when social partners are more related through one parent than the other-for example, owing to individuals or gametes of one sex dispersing further prior to fertilization. In particular, genes originating from the former parent are favored to promote selflessness, and those originating from the latter parent are favored ...

Recent Developments in Mixed Poisson Distributions
ASM Science Journal, 2021 Mixed Poisson distributions are a class of distributions arising from the Poisson mean fluctuating as a random variable. Mixed Poisson distributions have been applied in diverse disciplines for modelling non-homogeneity in populations.

A Conway–Maxwell–Poisson-Binomial AR(1) Model for Bounded Time Series Data
Entropy, 2023 Binomial autoregressive models are frequently used for modeling bounded time series counts. However, they are not well developed for more complex bounded time series counts of the occurrence of n exchangeable and dependent units, which are becoming ...

Air Pollution Dispersion over Durban, South Africa
Atmosphere, 2022 Air pollution dispersion over Durban is studied using satellite, reanalysis and in situ measurements. This coastal city of 4 million people located on the east coast of South Africa contributes 29 million T/yr of trace gases, mostly from transport and ...

Over-Dispersed Age-Period-Cohort Models [PDF]
Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2018 SUMMARYWe consider inference and forecasting for aggregate data organised in a two-way table with age and cohort as indices, but without measures of exposure. This is modelled using a Poisson likelihood with an age-period-cohort structure for the mean while allowing for over-dispersion.
