This work is motivated by a mobility study conducted in the city of Munich, Germany. The variable of interest is a binary response, which indicates whether public transport has been utilized or not. One of the central questions is to identify areas of low/high utilization of public transport...

In this paper we model absolute price changes of an option on the XETRA DAX index based on quote-by-quote data from the EUREX exchange. In contrast to other authors, we focus on a parameter-driven model for this purpose and use a Poisson Generalized Linear Model (GLM) with a latent AR(1) process...

In this paper we present a Gibbs sampler for a Poisson model including spatial effects. Frühwirth-Schnatter and Wagner (2004b) show that by data augmentation via the introduction of two sequences of latent variables a Poisson regression model can be transformed into a normal linear model. We...

In this paper we investigate intraday data of the IBM stock and a time series representing the sleep states of a newborn child. In both cases we are interested in the influence of several covariates observed together with the response series. For the purpose we use on the one hand the regression...

A new method for testing linear restrictions in linear regression models is suggested. It allows to validate the linear restriction, up to a specified approximation error and with a specified error probability. The test relies on asymptotic normality of the test statistic, and therefore...

This paper focuses on an extension of zero-inflated generalized Poisson (ZIGP) regression models for count data. We discuss generalized Poisson (GP) models where dispersion is modelled by an additional model parameter. Moreover, zero-inflated models in which overdispersion is assumed to be...

We propose a new class of state space models for longitudinal discrete response data where the observation equation is specified in an additive form involving both deterministic and random linear predictors. These models allow us to explicitly address the effects of trend, seasonal or other...
