Hi All, I would like to compare the effect of an explanatory variable (say X1) on a response variable (Say Y) between two geographic regions in which one is a sub-region of the other. For example, I am fitting two regression models(Y on X1), one for the city data and the other for country...

I am dealing with few overdispersed count models and using mixed Poisson distributions to deal with overdispsered data. I've used MLE technique to estimate the paramters, however ML estimates are lower biased. I am trying to correct the bias using advanced technquies. I have started to read...

Hello, I am planing to conduct a R practical class for college students. I have installed all necessary R packesges(including R cmdr ) and R studio IDE in my own computer. Now, I need to install R, Rstudio and all those (there are about 100 additional packages) necessary packages in about 50...

Hello everyone... I am a Statistics Ph.D. student at an Indian University. I am mostly in the final stages of my research period. I am posting this to get some advice from you all. Before starting my Ph.D. I submitted a proposal. However I did not answer all my research questions, at some...

Hi, I am looking for the theoretical method/algorithms to generate beta-binomial random variables. I would like to kindly request you to suggest me any journal paper or document to study the methods of generating beta-binomial random variables. [ I use rbetabinom function available in...

Hello, I am trying to estimate e intraclass correlation parameter of of binary data using extended quasi-likelihood estimation methods. The below are the estimating equations for the mean and dispersion parameters based on beta-binomial distribution. Which, I captured from An empirical...
