We developed a negative multinomial sampling plan for correlated cell counts. Maximum likelihood estimates for cell means are consistent with Poisson sampling, and we propose a new method for estimating the shape parameter.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Modeling
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Observed cell counts often exhibit positive correlations, which standard Poisson sampling models do not fully capture.
  • Accurate modeling of correlated count data is crucial for applications in epidemiology and health services research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a negative multinomial sampling plan to appropriately model positively correlated cell count data.
  • To investigate the properties of maximum likelihood estimates for cell means under this plan.
  • To develop a method for estimating the shape parameter of the negative multinomial distribution.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a negative multinomial sampling plan.
  • Comparison of maximum likelihood estimates for cell means with those from independent Poisson sampling.

  • Proposal of an estimation method for the shape parameter using Pearson's chi-squared statistic.

    • Main Results:

    • Maximum likelihood estimates for cell means are identical under both negative multinomial and independent Poisson sampling.
    • A general maximum likelihood estimate for the shape parameter does not exist.
    • A novel estimation technique for the shape parameter based on Pearson's chi-squared statistic is proposed.

    Conclusions:

    • The negative multinomial sampling plan provides a robust framework for analyzing correlated count data.
    • The proposed estimation method for the shape parameter offers a practical solution for model fitting.
    • These statistical techniques have direct applications in modeling cancer incidence and healthcare utilization.
