DREAMSeq: An Improved Method for Analyzing Differentially Expressed Genes in RNA-seq Data
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a widely used technology for analyzing global gene-expression changes during certain biological processes. It is generally acknowledged that RNA-seq data displays equidispersion and overdispersion characteristics ...

A Flexible Mixed Model for Clustered Count Data
Stats, 2022 Clustered count data are commonly modeled using Poisson regression with random effects to account for the correlation induced by clustering. The Poisson mixed model allows for overdispersion via the nature of the within-cluster correlation, however ...

Poverty and malaria morbidity in the Jirapa District of Ghana: A count regression approach
Cogent Economics & Finance, 2017 Malaria potentially affects everyone in the tropics and sub-tropics, however, the poor and vulnerable are worse affected mainly due to the socio-economic constraints that confront them. In Ghana, the Upper West Region, which is the poorest, is one of the

A Conway–Maxwell–Poisson Type Generalization of Hypergeometric Distribution
Mathematics, 2023 The hypergeometric distribution has gained its importance in practice as it pertains to sampling without replacement from a finite population. It has been used to estimate the population size of rare species in ecology, discrete failure rate in ...

On Underdispersed Count Kernels for Smoothing Probability Mass Functions
Stats, 2023 Only a few count smoothers are available for the widespread use of discrete associated kernel estimators, and their constructions lack systematic approaches. This paper proposes the mean dispersion technique for building count kernels.

A New Conway Maxwell–Poisson Liu Regression Estimator—Method and Application
Journal of Mathematics, 2022 Poisson regression is a popular tool for modeling count data and is applied in medical sciences, engineering and others. Real data, however, are often over or underdispersed, and we cannot apply the Poisson regression. To overcome this issue, we consider

Execution of synthetic Bayesian model average for solar energy forecasting
IET Renewable Power Generation, 2022 Accurate photovoltaic (PV) forecasting is quite crucial in planning and in the regular operation of power system. Stochastic habit along with the high risks in PV signal uncertainty and a probabilistic forecasting model is required to address the ...
