Journal of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, 2023 Introduction: Although geometric distribution, which is a special case of Negative Binomial (NB) distribution, also belongs to the discrete family of distributions, little attention has been paid to modeling count data with the geometric distribution ...

Stationary underdispersed INAR(1) models based on the backward approach
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2021 Most of the stationary first-order autoregressive integer-valued (INAR(1)) models were developed for a given thinning operator using either the forward approach or the backward approach. In the forward approach the marginal distribution of the time series is specified and an appropriate distribution for the innovation sequence is sought. Whereas in the

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.

Generalised Poisson Distributions for Modelling Parity
, 2021 Conventional parametric count distributions, namely the Poisson and Negative-Binomialmodels, do not offer satisfactory descriptions of empirical distributions of completed cohortparity.

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

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 Antimicrobial resistance in livestock is a matter of general concern. To develop hygiene measures and methods for resistance prevention and control, epidemiological studies on a population level are needed to detect factors associated with antimicrobial ...

A Correction for an Underdispersed Event Count Probability Distribution [PDF]
Political Analysis, 1993 We demonstrate that the expected value and variance commonly given for a well-known probability distribution are incorrect. We also provide corrected versions and report changes in a computer program to account for the known practical uses of this distribution.The probability distribution in question, named the continuous parameter binomial (CPB) by ...

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 ...
