Interval estimation of the mean response in a log-regression model

Interval estimation of the mean response in a log-regression model.

A standard approach to the analysis of skewed response data with concomitant information is to use a log-transformation to normalize the distribution of the response variable and then conduct a log- regression analysis. However, the mean response at original scale is often of interest. El-Shaarawi and Viveros developed an interval estimation of the mean response of a log-regression model based ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Improved point and interval estimation for a beta regression model

In this paper we consider the beta regression model recently proposed by Ferrari and Cribari-Neto [2004. Beta regression for modeling rates and proportions. J. Appl. Statist. 31, 799–815], which is tailored to situations where the response is restricted to the standard unit interval and the regression structure involves regressors and unknown parameters. We derive the second order biases of the...
