چکیده

We establish a connection between a class of chain-binomial models of use in ecology and epidemiology and binomial autoregressive (AR) processes. New results are obtained for the latter, including expressions for the lag-conditional distribution and related quantities. We focus on two types of chain-binomial model, extinction-colonization and colonization-extinction models, and present two approaches to parameter estimation. The asymptotic distributions of the resulting estimators are studied, as well as their finite-sample performance, and we give an application to real data. A connection is made with standard AR models, which also has implications for parameter estimation.

Bivariate binomial autoregressive models

This paper introduces new classes of bivariate time series models being useful to fit count data time series with a finite range of counts. Motivation comes mainly from the comparison of schemes for monitoring tourism demand, stock data, production and environmental processes. All models are based on the bivariate binomial distribution of Type II. First, a new family of bivariate integer-valued...

Autoregressive Negative Binomial Processes

Abstract We start by studying first-order autoregressive negative binomial (NBD) processes. We then compare maximum likelihood and moment based estimators of the parameters of the NBD INAR(1) model and show that the degree of dependence has significant effect on the quality of the estimators. Finally, we construct NBD processes with long-range dependence by using the NBD INAR(1) processes as ba...

Estimation of Count Data using Bivariate Negative Binomial Regression Models

Abstract Negative binomial regression model (NBR) is a popular approach for modeling overdispersed count data with covariates. Several parameterizations have been performed for NBR, and the two well-known models, negative binomial-1 regression model (NBR-1) and negative binomial-2 regression model (NBR-2), have been applied. Another parameterization of NBR is negative binomial-P regression mode...

Limit theorems for discrete-time metapopulation models

We describe a class of one-dimensional chain binomial models of use in studying metapopulations (population networks). Limit theorems are established for time-inhomogeneous Markov chains that share the salient features of these models. We prove a law of large numbers, which can be used to identify an approximating deterministic trajectory, and a central limit theorem, which establishes that the...
