We quantified the potential increase in accuracy of expected breeding value for weights of Nelore cattle, from birth to mature age, using multi-trait and random regression models on Legendre polynomials and B-spline ...

In this paper, we propose a random intercept Poisson model in which the random effect is assumed to follow a generalized log-gamma (GLG) distribution. This random effect accommodates (or captures) the overdispersion in the ...

Beta-binomial/Poisson models have been used by many authors to model multivariate count data. Lora and Singer [Stat. Med. 27 (2008) 3366-3381] extended such models to accommodate repeated multivariate count data with ...

In this work, we have presented the generalized phase diagrams of the van Hemmen model for spin S=1 in the presence of an anisotropic term of random crystalline field. In order to study the critical behavior of the phase ...

Purpose: By adopting more appropriate and powerful statistical methods that fully exploit longitudinal structure, we reanalyze and extend previously published results from a large community trial to investigate the effect ...
