Bias reduction in Poisson and Tobit regression

news

While it is well-known that data separation can cause infinite estimates in binary regression models, the same is also true for other models with a point mass at the bounday (typically at zero) such as Poisson and Tobit. It is shown why this happens and how it can be remedied with bias-reduced estimation, along with implementations in R. Read more ›

Was Trump confused by rainbow color map?

news

In the controversy over Hurricane Dorian, US President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that early forecasts showed a high probability of Alabama being hit. We demonstrate that a potentially confusing rainbow color map in the official weather forecasts may have attributed to Trump overestimating the risk. Read more ›
