Motor vehicle crash data were extracted from the Florida Department of Motor Vehicle and Highway Safety dataset for 40 intersections within Miami-Dade County, Florida for development of an accident prediction model. Each intersection was matched at least one of 20 red light camera (RLC) sites using selected geometric variables. In addition, each intersection examined was at least 2 miles away f...

A new four parameter extended Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (ECOMP) distribution which unifies the recently proposed COM-Poisson type negative binomial (COM-NB) distribution [Chakraborty, S. and Ong, S. H. (2014): A COM-type Generalization of the Negative Binomial Distribution, Accepted in Communications in Statistics-Theory and Methods] and the generalized COM-Poisson (GCOMP) distribution [Imoto, T. ...

Problem statement: The modeling of claims count is one of the most important topics in actuarial theory and practice. Many attempts were implemented in expanding the classes of mixed and compound distributions, especially in the distribution of exponential family, resulting in a better fit on count data. In some cases, it is proven that mixed distributions, in particular mixed Poisson and mixed...

Stroke risk has been shown to display varying patterns of geographic distribution amongst countries but also between regions of the same country. Traditionally a disease of older persons, a global 25% increase in incidence instead was noticed between 1990 and 2010 in persons aged 20-≤64 years, particularly in low- and medium-income countries. Understanding spatial disparities in the association...

BACKGROUND Parametric count distributions customarily used in demography – the Poisson and negative binomial models – do not offer satisfactory descriptions of empirical distributions of completed cohort parity. One reason is that they cannot model variance-to-mean ratios below unity, i.e., underdispersion, which is typical of low-fertility parity distributions. Statisticians have recently revi...

1 2 A major focus for transportation safety analysts is the development of crash prediction models, a 3 task for which an extremely wide selection of model types are available. Perhaps the most common 4 crash prediction model is the negative binomial (NB) regression model. The NB model gained 5 popularity due to its relative ease of implementation and its ability to handle overdispersion in 6 c...

Sea turtle interactions with the longline fishery in Hawaii have become a serious concern in recent years. Various measures, including a swordfish harvest ban, have been adopted to protect sea turtles. This study explores the factors and degree of sea turtle interactions with Hawaii’s pelagic longline fishery, i.e. the production of undesirable outputs in the pursuit of an economic activity, in...

Abstract A flexible semiparametric class of models is introduced that offers an alternative to classical regression for count data as the Poisson and Negative Binomial model, well more general accounting excess zeros are also based on fixed distributional assumptions. The model allows itself determine distribution response variable, but, in its basic form, uses a parametric term specifies effec...

Neonatalis is birth before 28 days of a baby. Factors that are considered to affect neonatal mortality include the number visits in 1st and 3 rd trimester, pregnant women receiving Tetanus Diptheria Immunization, estimated infants with complications, Hepatitis B Immunization for less than 24 hours, BCG 1 visits. Neonatal still very rare so right analysis used, namely Negative Binomial Regressio...
