REACTIONOn a Likelihood - Based Goodness - of - Fit Test of theBeta - Binomial ModelS

چکیده
SUMMARY When faced with proportion data that exhibit extra-binomial variation, data analysts often consider the beta-binomial distribution as an alternative model to the more common bino-mial distribution. A typical example occurs in toxicological experiments with laboratory animals, where binary observations on fetuses within a litter are often correlated with each other. In such instances, it may be of interest to test for the goodness-of-t of the beta-binomial model; this eeort is complicated, however, when there is large variability among the litter sizes. We investigate a recent goodness-of-t test proposed by Brooks, Morgan, Ridout, and Pack (1997, Biometrics 53, 1097{1115) but nd that it lacks the ability to distinguish between the beta-binomial model and some severely non-beta-binomial models.

متن کاملModeling Multiple–Vehicle Property Damage Collisions in Urban Signalized Intersections
Development of disaggregate models for estimating different property damage collision type frequencies in urban intersections has rarely been studied, particularly in Iran. It seems very little research work being implemented for studying the effect factors on collision type frequency at intersections. The main objective of this paper is to develop suitable statistical models to predict types o...
متن کاملFitting of Count Time Series Models on the Number of Patients Referred to Addiction Treatment Centers in Semnan County
Abstract. Count data over time are observed in many application areas. Many researchers use time series patterns to analyze this data. In this paper, the poisson count time series linear models and negative binomials on this type of data with the explanatory variables are studied. The Likelihood analysis and the evaluation of count time series model based on generalized linear models are pres...
متن کاملAn Updated Review of Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Entropy
Different approaches to goodness of fit (GOF) testing are proposed. This survey intends to present the developments on Goodness of Fit based on entropy during the last 50 years, from the very first origins until the most recent advances for different data and models. Goodness of fit tests based on Shannon entropy was started by Vasicek in 1976 and were continued by many authors. In this paper, ...
