چکیده

This paper reviews zero-inflated count models and applies them to modelling annual trends in incidences of occupational allergic asthma, dermatitis and rhinitis in France. Based on the data collected from 2001 to 2009, the study uses the incidence rate ratios (IRR) as percentage of changes in incidences and plots them as function of the years to obtain trends. The investigation reveals that the trend is decreasing for asthma and rhinitis, and increasing for dermatitis, and that there is a possible positive association between the three diseases.

Zero inflated Poisson and negative binomial regression models: application in education

Background: The number of failed courses and semesters in students are indicatorsof their performance. These amounts have zero inflated (ZI) distributions. Using ZI Poisson and negative binomial distributions we can model these count data to find the associated factors and estimate the parameters. This study aims at to investigate the important factors related to the educational performance of ...
