Testing non-nested models for non-negative data with many zeros∗
In economic applications it is often the case that the variate of interest is nonnegative and its distribution has a mass-point at zero. Many regression strategies have been proposed to deal with data of this type but, although there has been a long debate in the literature on the appropriateness of different models, formal statistical tests to choose between the competing specifications are no...
متن کاملModels for count data with many zeros
Poisson regression models provide a standard framework for the analysis of count data. In practice, however, count data are often overdispersed relative to the Poisson distribution. One frequent manifestation of overdispersion is that the incidence of zero counts is greater than expected for the Poisson distribution and this is of interest because zero counts frequently have special status. For...
متن کاملAllocation models for DMUs with negative data
The formulas of cost and allocative efficiencies of decision making units (DMUs) with positive data cannot be used for DMUs with negative data. On the other hand, these formulas are needed to analyze the productivity and performance of DMUs with negative data. To this end, this study introduces the cost and allocative efficiencies of DMUs with negative data and demonstrates that the introduc...
متن کاملHurdle, Inflated Poisson and Inflated Negative Binomial Regression Models for Analysis of Count Data with Extra Zeros
In this paper, we propose Hurdle regression models for analysing count responses with extra zeros. A method of estimating maximum likelihood is used to estimate model parameters. The application of the proposed model is presented in insurance dataset. In this example, there are many numbers of claims equal to zero is considered that clarify the application of the model with a zero-inflat...
متن کاملRepresentations of non-negative polynomials having finitely many zeros
Let K be a basic closed semialgebraic set in R defined by polynomial inequalities g1 ≥ 0, . . . , gs ≥ 0, where g1, . . . , gs ∈ R[x1, . . . , xn], and let f ∈ R[x1, . . . , xn]. In [12], Schmüdgen proves that, if K is compact and f is strictly positive on K, then f belongs to the quadratic preordering generated by g1, . . . , gs. Denote by M the (smaller) quadratic module generated by g1, . . ...
