Zero 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 کاملComparison of robustness to outliers between robust poisson models and log-binomial models when estimating relative risks for common binary outcomes: a simulation study
BACKGROUND To estimate relative risks or risk ratios for common binary outcomes, the most popular model-based methods are the robust (also known as modified) Poisson and the log-binomial regression. Of the two methods, it is believed that the log-binomial regression yields more efficient estimators because it is maximum likelihood based, while the robust Poisson model may be less affected by ou...
متن کاملRobust Designs for Poisson Regression Models
We consider the problem of how to construct robust designs for Poisson regression models. An analytical expression is derived for robust designs for first-order Poisson regression models where uncertainty exists in the prior parameter estimates. Given certain constraints in the methodology, it may be necessary to extend the robust designs for implementation in practical experiments. With these ...
متن کاملHurdle, Inflated Poisson and Inflated Negative Binomial Regression Models for Analysis of Count Data with Extra Zeros
In this paper, we propose Hurdle regression models for analysing count responses with extra zeros. A method of estimating maximum likelihood is used to estimate model parameters. The application of the proposed model is presented in insurance dataset. In this example, there are many numbers of claims equal to zero is considered that clarify the application of the model with a zero-inflat...
متن کاملMonte Carlo error in the Bayesian estimation of risk ratios using log-binomial regression models: an efficient MCMC method
In cohort studies binary outcomes are very often analyzed by logistic regression. However, it is well-known that when the goal is to estimate a risk ratio, the logistic regression is inappropriate if the outcome is common. In these cases, a log-binomial regression model is preferable. On the other hand, the estimation of the regression coefficients of the log-binomial model is difficult due to ...
