We introduce a method for estimating overdispersion in Poisson models for vital rates. We assume smoothness conditions on the counts to obtain pointwise variance estimates that we combine to obtain an estimate of the overdispersion parameter. We create confidence intervals about the observed rates u
In many observed processes, data is fit well by a common distribution except for an excess of numbers of the zero class. This may be due to a threshold phenomenon in which no response occurs until a concomitant variable reaches a certain level, and the response is governed by the common probability
Many cohort studies and clinical trials have designs which involve repeated measurements of disease markers. One problem in such longitudinal studies, when the primary interest is to estimate and to compare the evolution of a disease marker, is that planned data are not collected because of missing
The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for a distribution function with increasing failure rate is derived, based on a collection of series system data. Applications can arise in industries where operating environments make available only such system-level data, due to system configuration or type-I
