BackgroundCount data represents the number of occurrences an event within a fixed period time. In count modelling, overdispersion is inevitable. Sometimes, this may not be just due to excess zeros but presence two or more mixtures. Hence main objective examine for mixtures if any, with and compare Generalized Poisson model, Mixture models other using real time simulated data.MethodsThree over-d...

Abstract Accurate static traffic assignment models are important tools for the assessment of strategic transportation policies. In this article we present a novel approach to partition road networks through network modularity produce data-driven from loop detector data on large systems. The use partitioning allows estimation key model input Origin–Destination demand matrices flow counts alone. ...

In research areas such as decision support systems, one of the crucial features is the ability to automatically explain decisions. However, this ability does not typically play a large role in computer games. Here, I suggest that this situation will change: research on the automatic generation of explanations will have real import for many types of computer games. I discuss four possible ways t...

International relations theorists tend to think in terms of continuous processes. Yet we observe only discrete events, such as wars or alliances, and summarize them in terms of the frequency of occurrence. As such, most empirical analyses in international relations are based on event count variables. Unfortunately, analysts have generally relied on statistical techniques that were designed for ...
