Quasi-negative binomial distribution: Properties and applications
In this paper, a quasi-negative binomial distribution (QNBD) derived from the class of generalized Lagrangian probability distributions is studied. The negative binomial distribution is a special case of QNBD. Some properties of QNBD, including the upper tail behavior and limiting distributions, are investigated. It is shown that the moments do not exist in some situations and the limiting dist...
متن کاملHandling Overdispersion with Negative Binomial and Generalized Poisson Regression Models
In actuarial hteramre, researchers suggested various statistical procedures to estimate the parameters in claim count or frequency model. In particular, the Poisson regression model, which is also known as the Generahzed Linear Model (GLM) with Poisson error structure, has been x~adely used in the recent years. However, it is also recognized that the count or frequency data m insurance practice...
متن کاملModeling Zero-Inflated Count Data with Underdispersion and Overdispersion
A common problem in modeling count data is underdispersion or overdispersion. This paper discusses the distinction between overdispersion due to excess zeros and overdispersion due to values that are greater than 0. It shows how to use exploratory data analysis to determine the dispersion patterns and that the dispersion patterns can change depending on the predictors and the subpopulation that...
متن کاملA Comparison of Two Test Statistics for Poisson Overdispersion/Underdispersion
Within the family of zero-inflated Poisson distributions, the data has Poisson distribution if any only if the mean equals the variance. In this paper we compare two closely related test statistics constructed based on this idea. Our results show that although these two tests are asymptotically equivalent under the null hypothesis and are equally efficient, one test is always more efficient tha...
متن کاملKNO scaling function of modified negative binomial distribution
We investigate the KNO scaling function of the modified negative binomial distribution (MNBD), because this MNBD can explain the oscillating behaviors of the cumulant moment observed in e+e− annihilations and in hadronic collisions. By using a straightforward method and the Poisson transform we derive the KNO scaling function from the MNBD. The KNO form of experimental data in e+e− collisions a...
