Quantile regression for overdispersed count data: a hierarchical method
Generalized Poisson regression is commonly applied to overdispersed count data, and focused on modelling the conditional mean of the response. However, conditional mean regression models may be sensitive to response outliers and provide no information on other conditional distribution features of the response. We consider instead a hierarchical approach to quantile regression of overdispersed c...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters for production traits and somatic cell score in Iranian Holstein dairy cattle using random regression model
In this study test-day records of milk (kg), fat (g), and protein (g) yields, somatic cell score (SCS, cells/ML) collected by Animal Breeding Center of Iran during 2007 and 2009 were used to estimate genetic parameters using random regression model. Models with different order of Legendre polynomials were compared using Bayesian information criterion (BIC).For milk, fat yield and SCS genetic an...
متن کاملThe Value & Use of Dairy Herd Improvement Somatic Cell Count
How Much Does Mastitis Cost You? The only way this question can be answered is to know how much mastitis is in your herd. Mastitis robs you in many ways: reduced milk production; treatment cost; discarded milk; death and premature culling; decreased genetic advancement; and reduced milk quality. Reduced milk production accounts for approximately 70% of the total loss associated with mastitis. U...
متن کاملQuantile Regression for Longitudinal Data
The penalized least squares interpretation of the classical random effects estimator suggests a possible way forward for quantile regression models with a large number of “fixed effects”. The introduction of a large number of individual fixed effects can significantly inflate the variability of estimates of other covariate effects. Regularization, or shrinkage of these individual effects toward...
