Bayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts
Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...
متن کاملUsing Rapid City Surveys to Inform Municipal Social Policy – An Application in Cali, Colombia
Many developing countries assign local governments increasing responsibilities in fighting poverty. This requires local social policy to go beyond the execution of centrally designed and funded education and health programs. Hence, local governments and their partners have both an opportunity and a need to analyze key local bottlenecks for poverty reduction and social development. Drawing on an...
متن کاملSmoothing Spline Semi-parametric Nonlinear Regression Models
We consider the problem of modeling the mean function in regression. Often there is enough knowledge to model some components of the mean function parametrically. But for other vague and/or nuisance components, it is often desirable to leave them unspecified and to be modeled nonparametrically. In this article, we propose a general class of smoothing spline semi-parametric nonlinear regression ...
متن کاملZero inflated Poisson and negative binomial regression models: application in education
Background: The number of failed courses and semesters in students are indicatorsof their performance. These amounts have zero inflated (ZI) distributions. Using ZI Poisson and negative binomial distributions we can model these count data to find the associated factors and estimate the parameters. This study aims at to investigate the important factors related to the educational performance of ...
متن کاملA semi-parametric Bayesian approach to generalized linear mixed models.
The linear mixed effects model with normal errors is a popular model for the analysis of repeated measures and longitudinal data. The generalized linear model is useful for data that have non-normal errors but where the errors are uncorrelated. A descendant of these two models generates a model for correlated data with non-normal errors, called the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). Frequen...
