In this paper a mixed Poisson regression model for count data is introduced. This model is derived by mixing the Poisson distribution with the one–parameter continuous exponential–inverse Gaussian distribution. The obtained probability mass function is over–dispersed and unimodal with modal value located at zero. Estimation is performed by maximum likelihood. As an application, the demand for health services among people 65 and over is examined using this regression model since empirical…

EM Estimation for the Poisson-Inverse Gamma Regression Model with Varying Dispersion: An Application to Insurance Ratemaking

This article presents the Poisson-Inverse Gamma regression model with varying dispersion for approximating heavy-tailed and overdispersed claim counts. Our main contribution is that we develop an

Demand for Medical Care by the Elderly: A Finite Mixture Approach

In this article we develop a finite mixture negative binomial count model that accommodates unobserved heterogeneity in an intuitive and analytically tractable manner. This model, the standard

A mixed poisson–inverse‐gaussian regression model

The mixed Poisson–inverse-Gaussian distribution has been used by Holla, Sankaran, Sichel, and others in univariate problems involving counts. We propose a Poisson–inverse-Gaussian regression model

Models for count data with endogenous participation

We present several extensions of the Poisson and negative binomial models for count data based on the lognormal model for latent heterogeneity in the conditional means. The lognormal model provides a

EM Algorithm for Mixed Poisson and Other Discrete Distributions

Mixed Poisson distributions are widely used in various disciplines including actuarial applications. The family of mixed Poisson distributions contains several members according to the choice of the

Econometric models based on count data. Comparisons and applications of some estimators and tests

This paper deals with specification, estimation and tests of single equation reduced form type equations in which the dependent variable takes only non-negative integer values. Beginning with Poisson

Quasi-likelihood functions, generalized linear models, and the Gauss-Newton method

SUMMARY To define a likelihood we have to specify the form of distribution of the observations, but to define a quasi-likelihood function we need only specify a relation between the mean and variance
