Generalized Estimating Equations for Zero-Inflated Spatial Count Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consolidate the zero-inflated Poisson model for count data with excess zeros (Lambert, 1992) and the two-component model approach for serial correlation among repeated observations (Dobbie and Welsh, 2001) for spatial count data. This concurrently addresses the problem of overdispersion and distinguishes zeros that arise due to random sampling from those that arise due to inherent characteristics of the data. We give a general quasi-likelihood and derive corresponding score equations for the zero-inflated Poisson generalized linear model. To introduce dependence, a spatial-temporal correlation structure comprising forms for fixed time, fixed location, and neighbor interactions is required; construction using techniques from the theory of Markov point processes is investigated.

Hurdle, 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 کاملAnalysis of zero-inflated clustered count data: A marginalized model approach
Min and Agresti (2005) proposed random effect hurdle models for zero-inflated clustered count data with two-part random effects for a binary component and a truncated count component. In this paper, we propose new marginalized models for zero-inflated clustered count data using random effects. The marginalized models are similar to Dobbie and Welsh’s (2001) model in which generalized estimating...

Background: The effective use of limited health care resources is of prime importance. Assessing the length of stay (LOS) is especially important in organizing hospital services and health system. This study was conducted to identify predictors of LOS among patients who were admitted to a general surgical unit. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the sample included all patien...
متن کاملMulti-level zero-inflated poisson regression modelling of correlated count data with excess zeros.
Count data with excess zeros relative to a Poisson distribution are common in many biomedical applications. A popular approach to the analysis of such data is to use a zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression model. Often, because of the hierarchical study design or the data collection procedure, zero-inflation and lack of independence may occur simultaneously, which render the standard ZIP model...
