Bayesian paradigm for analysing count data in longitudina studies using Poisson-generalized log-gamma model
In analyzing longitudinal data with counted responses, normal distribution is usually used for distribution of the random efffects. However, in some applications random effects may not be normally distributed. Misspecification of this distribution may cause reduction of efficiency of estimators. In this paper, a generalized log-gamma distribution is used for the random effects which includes th...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes estimation smoothing of relative risks in disease mapping
A common index of disease incidence and mortality is the standardized mortality ratio (SMR). The SMR is a reliable measure of relative risk for large geographical regions such as countries or states, but may be unreliable for small areas such as counties. This paper reviews several empirical Bayes methods for producing smoothed estimates of the SMR as well as the conditional autoregressive proc...

15 صفحه اولEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملExperiences with Approximate Bayes Inference for the Poisson-CAR Model
In many areas of epidemiologic, demographic and geographical research, inference based on hierarchical spatial regression models is popular and important; for example, in disease mapping, environmental and health monitoring studies. Several estimation and inferential procedures have been proposed for these models, utilizing a variety of methods such as estimating equations, empirical Bayes and ...
