Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. In addition to spatial effects, cluster effects are taken into consideration. Group and … effects two MCMC algorithms for parameter estimation are developed. The first one is based on a direct evaluation of the … mechanism, which is particularly useful for probit models. Simulation results show a satisfactory behavior of the MCMC …

We introduce a new latent variable model with count variable indicators, where usual linear parametric effects of covariates, nonparametric effects of continuous covariates and spatial effects on the continuous latent variables are modelled through a geoadditive predictor. Bayesian modelling of...

The cloud computing model is a modern concept of computation that provides a number of benefits for its adopters. This online computing model has been widely used in the western world and accepted to have some business and economic impacts. This paper provides some basic knowledge about cloud...

In classical econometric binary regression models, the logistic regression model has been used associated to the logit symmetric link. The purpose of this paper is to present binary regression models with rather asymmetric links —not yet available as commercial software—, when this asymmetry...

In this article, we develop a Bayesian method for quantile regression in the case of dichotomous response data. The frequentist approach to this type of regression has proven problematic in both optimizing the objective function and making inference on the regression parameters. By accepting...

An adaptation of the Brier score and the concordance probability is proposed for the two-level and the three-level random intercept binary regression model. This results in 2 different Brier scores and 3 different C-indices for the two-level binary regression model and 4 different Brier scores...

When analyzing a two-way contingency table, a preliminary question is often whether the categorical variables under study, say R and S, are independent or not. Suppose now that for each individual in the table, a continuous variable X is also known. It is then worth analyzing the table...
