Sample size determination for clustered count data.
We consider the problem of sample size determination for count data. Such data arise naturally in the context of multicenter (or cluster) randomized clinical trials, where patients are nested within research centers. We consider cluster-specific and population-averaged estimators (maximum likelihood based on generalized mixed-effect regression and generalized estimating equations, respectively)...
متن کاملEquivalence of truncated count mixture distributions and mixtures of truncated count distributions.
This article is about modeling count data with zero truncation. A parametric count density family is considered. The truncated mixture of densities from this family is different from the mixture of truncated densities from the same family. Whereas the former model is more natural to formulate and to interpret, the latter model is theoretically easier to treat. It is shown that for any mixing di...
متن کاملModelling 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 کاملModelling Relational Data using Bayesian Clustered Tensor Factorization
We consider the problem of learning probabilistic models for complex relational structures between various types of objects. A model can help us “understand” a dataset of relational facts in at least two ways, by finding interpretable structure in the data, and by supporting predictions, or inferences about whether particular unobserved relations are likely to be true. Often there is a tradeoff...
متن کاملModelling Clustered Data in Autobiographical Memory Research: The Multilevel Approach
Much memory research involves recording several autobiographical memories for each of several people. These memories are not independent of each other, an assumption of the statistical procedures used in many cognitive psychology papers. In recent years there have been both statistical and computational advances for modelling these hierarchical data structures. This is often called multilevel m...
