Pooling overdispersed binomial data to estimate event rate.

17 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: The beta-binomial model is one of the methods that can be used to validly combine event rates from overdispersed binomial data. Our objective is to provide a full description of this method and to update and broaden its applications in ... Read more...

Applying cusum-based methods for the detection of outbreaks of Ross River virus disease in Western Australia.

11 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: The automated monitoring of routinely collected disease surveillance data has the potential to ensure that important changes in disease incidence are promptly recognised. However, few studies have established whether the signals ... Read more...

Comparing several means of dependent populations of count: a parametric robust approach.

28 Jun 2008 We propose a parametric robust procedure for comparing several means of dependent populations of counts. The validity of the proposed method requires no knowledge of the true underlying joint distributions so long as they have finite second ... Read more...
