Overdispersion : Models and Estimation

Omtale

Overdispersion is commonly encountered in modelling data. Statisticians and those working in the application areas need to know how to deal with it, and this book provides a complete source for identifying and handling overdispersion. With increasing focus on modelling in the applied sciences, this book is a welcome addition to the modelling literature for researchers and practitioners working in biometrics, medicine, and epidemiology. It is also excellent supplementary reading for a graduate or graduate-level course in statistical modelling.
