In this paper, I propose a new class of Zero-Inflated Poisson models into the family of Cluster Weighted Models (CWMs) called Zero-Inflated Poisson CWMs (ZIPCWM). ZIPCWM extends Poisson cluster weighted models and other mixture models. I…
Analyzing overdispersed, zero-inflated, longitudinal count data poses significant modeling and computational challenges, which standard count models (e.g., Poisson or negative binomial mixed effects models) fail to adequately address. We…
We consider the problem of inferring an unknown number of clusters in replicated multinomial data. Under a model based clustering point of view, this task can be treated by estimating finite mixtures of multinomial distributions with or…
Most crowd counting methods directly regress blockwise density maps using Mean Squared Error (MSE) losses. This practice has two key limitations: (1) it fails to account for the extreme spatial sparsity of annotations - over 95% of 8x8…
To analyze longitudinal zero-inflated count data, we extend existing models by introducing marginalized zero-inflated Poisson (MZIP) models with random effects, which explicitly capture the marginal effect of covariates and address…
A model based clustering procedure for data of mixed type, clustMD, is developed using a latent variable model. It is proposed that a latent variable, following a mixture of Gaussian distributions, generates the observed data of mixed type.…
Human microbiome studies based on genetic sequencing techniques produce compositional longitudinal data of the relative abundances of microbial taxa over time, allowing to understand, through mixed-effects modeling, how microbial…
Count data with an excessive number of zeros frequently arise in fields such as economics, medicine, and public health. Traditional count models often fail to adequately handle such data, especially when the relationship between the…
This paper describes a compound Poisson-based random effects structure for modeling zero-inflated data. Data with large proportion of zeros are found in many fields of applied statistics, for example in ecology when trying to model and…
We describe and analyze a broad class of mixture models for real-valued multivariate data in which the probability density of observations within each component of the model is represented as an arbitrary combination of basis functions.…
Cluster randomized trails (CRT) have been widely employed in medical and public health research. Many clinical count outcomes, such as the number of falls in nursing homes, exhibit excessive zero values. In the presence of zero inflation,…
The scan statistic is widely used in spatial cluster detection applications of inhomogeneous Poisson processes. However, real data may present substantial departure from the underlying Poisson process. One of the possible departures has to…
Microbiome research has immense potential for unlocking insights into human health and disease. A common goal in human microbiome research is identifying subgroups of individuals with similar microbial composition that may be linked to…
Until recently obtaining data on populations of networks was typically rare. However, with the advancement of automatic monitoring devices and the growing social and scientific interest in networks, such data has become more widely…
The problem of estimating the ratio of the means of a two-component Poisson mixture model is considered, when each component is subject to zero-inflation, i.e., excess zero counts. The. resulting {\it zero-inflated Poisson mixture (ZIPM)…
Several applications involving counts present a large proportion of zeros (excess-of-zeros data). A popular model for such data is the Hurdle model, which explicitly models the probability of a zero count, while assuming a sampling…
Weighted networks encode not only the presence of interactions but also their strength. Existing methods for weighted network community detection often rely on Poisson models, which can be restrictive for overdispersed data and make…
Partially recorded data are frequently encountered in many applications and usually clustered by first removing incomplete cases or features with missing values, or by imputing missing values, followed by application of a clustering…
Researchers are often interested in predicting outcomes, conducting clustering analysis to detect distinct subgroups of their data, or computing causal treatment effects. Pathological data distributions that exhibit skewness and…
We are concerned in clustering continuous data sets subject to non-ignorable missingness. We perform clustering with a specific semi-parametric mixture, under the assumption of conditional independence given the component. The mixture model…
