ABSTRACT

In this paper we present R/SPLUS functions for the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of  bivariate and diagonal inflated bivariate Poisson regression models. An Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm is facilitated. Inflated models allow for modelling both over-dispersion (or under-dispersion) and negative correlation and thus they are appropriate for a wide range of applications. Extensions of the algorithms for several other models are also discussed. Detailed guidance and implementation on simulated and real data sets using R/SPLUS functions is provided.
