Bayesian Zero- Inflated Poisson model for prognosis of demographic factors associated with using crystal meth in Tehran population
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Use of methamphetamine (MA) and other stimulants has increased steadily over the past 10 years. Risk factor evaluation to reduce the problem in the community is one solution to protect people from addiction. This study aimed at using Bayesian zero- inflated Poisson (ZIP) model to investigate the relationship between the number of using crystal meth and some demographic factors in Tehran population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate crystal meth abuse in Tehran, the capital of Iran, in 2012. Stratified sampling method was used to select samples from 22 urban areas of Tehran. Trained researchers referred to the public places, such as streets, parks, squares, and libraries, to perform face-to-face interviews with the randomly selected samples. Bayesian ZIP model was used to perform the analysis, and SAS 9.3 program was used for data analysis. Results: A total of 993 individuals were studied. According to Bayesian ZIP model, sex (mean= -0.27, 95%CI (-0.485, -0.061)), age (mean= 0.03, 95%CI (0.018, 0.043)), high school level education (mean= 1.276, 95%CI (0.699, 01.9)), diploma level education (mean= 10.4, 95%CI (0.511, 1.69)), and university level education (mean= 0.69, 95%CI (0.142, 1.33)) were all found to have significant associations with crystal meth usage, being the dependent variable. Conclusion: Males, those with higher education levels, and older people in Tehran population are more likely to use crystal meth. This demographic information may be useful in designing preventive programs. Moreover, it is better to analyze count data with excessive zeroes using Bayesian zero- inflated model instead of the usual count models.

Bayesian Inference for Zero-inflated Poisson Regression Models
Count data with excess zeros are common in social science research and can be considered as a special case of mixture structured data. We exploit the flexibility of the Bayesian analytic approach to model the mixture data structure inherent in zero-inflated count data by using the zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) model. We discuss the importance of modelling excess-zero count data in social sciences...

Excess zeros and overdispersion are commonly encountered phenomena that limit the use of traditional Poisson regression models for modeling count data. The focus of this paper is on modeling count data in the case that a population has excess zero counts and also consists of several sub-populations in the non-zero counts. The proposed zero-inflated Poisson regression mixture model accounts for ...

Recognizing the factors affecting the number of blood donation and blood deferral has a major impact on blood transfusion. There is a positive correlation between the variables "number of blood donation" and "number of blood deferral": as the number of return for donation increases, so does the number of blood deferral. On the other hand, due to the fact that many donors never return to donate,...

A recommendation system confronts two opposing problems. In order to be practical, recommendations systems need to be quick, efficient, and scale well in both computational complexity and memory cost [7, 23]. This is frequently achieved by reducing the dimensionality of the data [7]. For example, suppose we have N users, M items, and a review matrix R ∈ RN×M consisting of positive integer ratin...

Real-life count data are frequently characterized by overdispersion and excess zeros. Zero-inflated count models provide a parsimonious yet powerful way to model this type of situation. Such models assume that the data are a mixture of two separate data generation processes: one generates only zeros, and the other is either a Poisson or a negative binomial data-generating process. The result of...
