Discrete data in the form of counts often exhibit extra variation that cannot be explained by a simple model, such as the binomial or the Poisson. Also, these data sometimes show more zero counts than ...

Generalized linear models (GLMs) are widely used for data analysis; however, their likelihood estimators can be sensitive to outliers. We propose new statistical models that allow robust inferences ...

Course Topics Ordinary linear regression (OLR) assumes that response variables are continuous. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) provide an extension to OLR since response variables can be continuous ...
