Using observation-level random effects to model overdispersion in count data in ecology and evolution [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2014
Overdispersion is common in models of count data in ecology and evolutionary biology, and can occur due to missing covariates, non-independent (aggregated) data, or an excess frequency of zeroes (zero-inflation).

Differentially expressed heterogeneous overdispersion genes testing for count data.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The mRNA-seq data analysis is a powerful technology for inferring information from biological systems of interest. Specifically, the sequenced RNA fragments are aligned with genomic reference sequences, and we count the number of sequence fragments ...

On the Use of Corrections for Overdispersion

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C: Applied Statistics, 1999
SUMMARY In studying fluctuations in the size of a blackgrouse (Tetrao tetrix) population, an autoregressive model using climatic conditions appears to follow the change quite well. However, the deviance of the model is considerably larger than its number of degrees of freedom.

A STUDY OF SMALL AREA ESTIMATION TO MEASURE MULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTY WITH MIXED MODEL POISSON, ZIP, AND ZINB

open access: yesBarekeng, 2023
The research began with calculating the value of multidimensional poverty at the district level in West Java Province from SUSENAS 2021. The calculation of multidimensional poverty was based on individuals in each district or city household.

A comparison of observation-level random effect and Beta-Binomial models for modelling overdispersion in Binomial data in ecology & evolution [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Overdispersion is a common feature of models of biological data, but researchers often fail to model the excess variation driving the overdispersion, resulting in biased parameter estimates and standard errors.

New statistical process control charts for overdispersed count data based on the Bell distribution [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
Poisson distribution is a popular discrete model used to describe counting information, from which traditional control charts involving count data, such as the c and u charts, have been established in the literature.

Monitoring overdispersed process in clinical laboratories using control charts

open access: yesDyna, 2022
Overdispersion is a phenomenon that generally occurs in the analysis of large sample sizes. In discrete data analysis, it refers to the presence of a variation higher than that implied by a reference Binomial or Poisson distributions.

Overdispersed variational autoencoders [PDF]

open access: yes2017 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2017
The ability to fit complex generative probabilistic models to data is a key challenge in AI. Currently, variational methods are popular, but remain difficult to train due to high variance of the sampling methods employed. We introduce the overdispersed variational autoencoder and overdispersed importance weighted autoencoder, which combine ...

Overdispersed gene expression in schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesnpj Schizophrenia, 2020
Abstract Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a severe, highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder with varied clinical presentations. The polygenic genetic architecture of SCZ makes identification of causal variants a daunting task.

COVID-19 hospitalizations and patients' age at admission: The neglected importance of data variability for containment policies

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2022
IntroductionAn excess in the daily fluctuation of COVID-19 in hospital admissions could cause uncertainty and delays in the implementation of care interventions.
