Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Multivariate Zero-Inflated Poisson Regression
    (2017-06) Wang, Yang
    In this report, we develop a procedure to analyze the relationship between the ob- served multi-dimensional counts and a set of explanatory variables. The counts follow a multivariate Poisson distribution or a multivariate zero-inflated Poisson distribution. Maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) for the model parameters are obtained by the Newton-Raphson (NR) iteration and the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, respectively. In Newton-Raphson method, the first and second derivatives of the log- likelihood function are derived to carry out the numerical evaluation. Formulas using EM algorithm are also introduced. A comparison of the estimation performance is made from simulation studies.
