Abstract:
We propose a new technique for the study of multivariate count data. The proposed model is applied to the study of the number of individuals several fossil species found in a set of geographical observation points. First, we are proposing a multivariate model based on the Poisson distributions, which allows positive and negative correlations between the components. We are extending the log-linear Poisson model in the multivariate case through the conditional distributions. For this model, we obtain the maximum likelihood estimates and compute several goodness of fit statistics. Finally we illustrate the application of the proposed method over data sets: various simulated data sets and a count data set of various fossil species.

Weibull Distribution
The Weibull distribution is a flexible model used in parametric survival analysis. It can handle both increasing and decreasing hazard rates, depending on its shape parameter...
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

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,...
