Approaches to modelling overdispersion in the analysis of migration
Abstract:
"In this paper the modelling of overdispersion in generalised Poisson and multinomial models of migration flows and rates is considered, and its importance within the wider question of substantive model specification is shown. It is argued that substantive specification and the modelling of overdispersion are closely interrelated. Simplified ways of estimating the form of overdispersion--moments methods and pseudo-likelihood--are considered wherever possible. Overdispersion is set within the broader context of correlation effects which relate to migration--correlation across different destinations, between spatially adjacent origins and destinations, and between different time periods. The data used to illustrate the modelling development [concern England and Wales and] are drawn from the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys Longitudinal Study, the decennial Census, and the National Health Service Central Register."

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...
