Handling of over-dispersion of count data via truncation using zero-inflated poisson regression model
A Poisson model typically is assumed for count data. It is assumed to have the same value for expe ctation and variance in a Poisson distribution, but most of the time there is over - dispersion in the model. Furthermore, the response variable in such cases is truncated for s...

| Summary: | A Poisson model typically is assumed for count data. It is assumed to have the same value for expe ctation and variance in a Poisson distribution, but most of the time there is over - dispersion in the model. Furthermore, the response variable in such cases is truncated for some outliers or large values. In this paper, a Poisson regression model is introd uced on truncated data. In this model, we consider a response variable and one or more than one explanatory variables. The estimation of regression parameters using the maximum likelihood method is discussed and the goodness - of - fit for the regression model is examined. We study the effects of truncation in terms of parameters estimation and their standard errors via real data. |
