Abstract:
Serially correlation binomial data with random cluster sizes occur frequently in environmental and health studies. Such data series have traditionally been analyzed using binomial state-space or hidden Markov models without appropriately accounting for the randomness in the cluster sizes. To characterize correlation and extra-variation arising from the random cluster sizes properly, we introduce a joint Poisson state-space modelling approach to analysis of binomial series with random cluster sizes. This approach enables us to model the marginal counts and binomial proportions simultaneously. An optimal estimation of our model has been developed using the orthodox best linear unbiased predictors. This estimation method is computationally efficient and robust since it depends only on the first- and second- moment assumptions of unobserved random effects. Our proposed approach is illustrated with analysis of birth delivery data.

Binomial Probability Distribution
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...

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...
