Abstract:
With reference to a real data on cataract surgery, we discuss the problem of zero-inflated circular-circular regression when both covariate and response are circular random variables and a large proportion of the responses are zeros. The regression model is proposed, and the estimation procedure for the parameters is discussed. Some relevant test procedures are also suggested. Simulation studies and real data analysis are performed to illustrate the applicability of the model.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Residual Plots
When the residual values are plotted against the variable x, it is called a residual...
