Error Analysis On The Generalized Negative Binomial Distribution, Felix Famoye, Oluwakemi Aremu

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The generalized negative binomial distribution characterized by three parameters, has been used to fit data from various fields of study. The distribution can model data for which the variance is larger or smaller than the mean, however, it becomes truncated under certain conditions. This truncation error is investigated via a detailed error analysis that determines the parameter space when the model can be used in place of the truncated generalized negative binomial distribution. The fitting of a generalized negative. K. M. Ramachandran is a

Maximum Likelihood Solution For The Linear Structural Relationship With Three Parameters Known, Androulla Michaeloudis

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A maximum likelihood solution is obtained for the simple linear structural relation model where the underlying incidental distribution and one error variance are assumed known. Expressions for the asymptotic standard errors of the maximum likelihood estimates are obtained and these are verified using a simulation study.
