For binomial and Poisson distributions, the scale parameter has a value of 1. The variance of Y is for the binomial distribution and for the Poisson distribution. Overdispersion occurs when the ...
The GENMOD procedure fits a generalized linear model to the data by maximum likelihood estimation of the parameter vector .There is, in general, no closed form solution for the maximum likelihood ...
The focus of this article is on the nature of the likelihood associated with N-mixture models for repeated count data. It is shown that the infinite sum embedded in the likelihood associated with the ...
