Shmueli et al. (2005) introduced the COM–Poisson–binomial distribution, but they did not study the mathematical properties of this family of distributions. In this paper, we discuss some properties and an asymptotic ...

The chemical induction of carcinogens in chemopreventive animal experiments is becoming increasingly frequent in biological research. The purpose of these biological experiments is to evaluate the effect of a particular ...

This work has as central theme the Inflated Modified Power Series Distributions, where the objective is to study its main properties and the applicability in the bayesian context. This class of models includes the generalized ...

The Poisson's binomial (PB) is the probability distribution of the number of successes in independent but not necessarily identically distributed binary trials. The independent non-identically distributed case emerges ...

Predicting football (soccer) results is a problem that has been explored for decades. The results can be seen from two points of view, predict the score or just to predict the result: win, draw or defeat. When we modeling ...

This study aimed at using zero-inflated models to analyze a food frequency questionnaire (F.F.Q.) applied to elderly individuals from a medium-sized city in inner São P aulo state, investigating the models that can be best ...
