Modelling count data with overdispersion and spatial effects
In this paper we consider regression models for count data allowing for overdispersion in a Bayesian framework. We account for unobserved heterogeneity in the data in two ways. On the one hand, we consider more flexible models than a common Poisson model allowing for overdispersion in different ways. In particular, the negative binomial and the generalized Poisson distribution are addressed whe...
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 کاملStatistical Methods for Overdispersion in mRNA-Seq Count Data
Recent developments in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have opened doors for ultra high throughput sequencing mRNA (mRNA-seq) of the whole transcriptome. mRNA-seq has enabled researchers to comprehensively search for underlying biological determinants of diseases and ultimately discover novel preventive and therapeutic solutions. Unfortunately, given the complexity of mRNA-seq dat...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood based analysis of equally spaced longitudinal count data with first-order antedependence and overdispersion
This manuscript implements a maximum likelihood based approach that is appropriate for equally spaced longitudinal count data with over-dispersion, so that the variance of the outcome variable is larger than expected for the assumed Poisson distribution. We implement the proposed method in the analysis of seizure data and a subset of German Socio-Economic Panel data. To demonstrate the importan...
متن کاملRedundant Overdispersion Parameters in Multilevel Models for Categorical Responses
In some distributions, such as the binomial distribution, the variance is determined by the mean. However, in practice, overdispersion is often observed where the variance is larger than that predicated by the mean, and underdispersion is sometimes observed where the variance is smaller. It is well known that overdispersion or underdispersion cannot be modeled for dichotomous responses having a...
