2 Outlne Generalzed regresson models Generalzed regresson models appled to the count of events Posson regresson model Negatve bnomal regresson model Zero-nflated Posson regresson model Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 2/48

3 Generalzed Lnear Models Dstngushng between GLM (General Lnear Models) and GZLM (Generalzed Lnear Models) GLM (General Lnear Models) varance and regresson models whch analyze normally dstrbuted dependent varables usng an dentty lnk functon (predcton s drectly of the values of the dependent) GZLM (Generalzed Lnear Models) Allows for dependent varables wth non normal dstrbutons and for many other lnk functon other than dentty (flexble generalzaton of GLM) Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 3/48

4 Generalzed Lnear Models Why usng GZLM nstead of GLM? The dependent varable may not be contnuous The effect of ndependent varables may not be lnear Untl half of the XX century normal lnear After: non lnear adjustments: log-log; probt, logt, log-lnear GZLM unfy all non lnear models, used to explan the stuaton were the lnear normal regresson was not able to explan the relaton under analyss Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 4/48

5 Generalzed Lnear Models GZLM have three man components A random component Usually a probablty dstrbuton from the exponental famly A systematc component Usually a lnear predctor such as A lnk functon Usually a lnk functon g X wth a mean as E( Y ) g And where the varance s a functon of the mean such as Var(Y ) V V g 1 1 Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 5/48

6 Probablty dstrbuton Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component N ndependent varables Y (=1,2,...N), wth an average of μ and a probablty functon belongng to the exponental famly b y f y, exp c, a y, y Y dstrbuton ts parameterzed n terms of the mean μ and a scale parameter ϕ (not the canonc θ) where EY b' VarY a b' ' Here and are scalar parameters and a(.), b(.) and c(.) area real functons known and specfc from each dstrbuton Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 6/48

7 Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Probablty dstrbuton On a GZLM the random dstrbuton of all random varables s the same. The probablty of all random varables Y presents the same shape, not varyng wth, and wth a constant scale parameter Normal, Posson, Gama or other Example: Posson Y follows a Posson dstrbuton f y y exp ln( ) ln( ) ln(!) e y, y 0 Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 7/48

8 Normal Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component The dstrbuton of the dependent takes the form of the famous bellshaped symmetrcal curve centered on the mean. Ths mples the dependent s contnuous numerc Normal dstrbuton (normalzed) Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 8/48

9 Inverse Gaussan (Wald Dstrbuton) Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Also called the nverse normal or Wald dstrbuton, ths s used for dependents whch are postvely skewed and have values always greater than 0. Values must be greater than 0 or are dropped. It has been used to model dffuson processes, nsurance clams If λ tends to nfnty, the dstrbuton becames smlar to a Normal Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 9/48

10 Gamma Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Ths s an alternatve for postvely skewed dependent varables. It s hghly senstve to the shape parameter. When the shape parameter s greater than 1, the gamma dstrbuton s mounded but postvely skewed as shown n the fgure below. When the shape parameter s 1, the gamma dstrbuton s exponentally declnng. When the shape parameter s less than 1, the gamma dstrbuton s also exponentally declnng and asymptotc to the axes The gamma dstrbuton has been used n survval analyss and modelng duraton-to-event data Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 10/48

11 Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Probablty dstrbuton Multnomal Ths dstrbuton s used when the dependent has a fnte number of categores, has text strng values, or s ordnal. The dstrbuton among categores, not shown, s arbtrary Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 11/48

12 Bnomal Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Used when the dependent s bnary. The count of events n a fxed number of trals also has a bnary dstrbuton. Examples of bnomal data are attrbute present/not present, nnovaton adopted/not adopted, or success/falure data. It s assumed that the two values have a fxed rather than changng probablty of occurrence (as n conflppng), even f that probablty s not known Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 12/48

13 Posson Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component The Posson dstrbuton s also used for count data and s preferred when events are rare, as n modelng accdents, wars, or epdemcs. A rule of thumb s to use a Posson rather than bnomal dstrbuton when n s 100 or more and the probablty s.05 or less. Where the bnomal dstrbuton s used where the varable of nterest s count of successes per gven number of trals, the Posson dstrbuton s used for count of successes per gven number of tme unts Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 13/48

14 Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Posson The Posson dstrbuton s also used when "event occurs" can be counted but non-occurrence cannot be counted. In Posson dstrbutons, the mean equals the varance. All values are nonnegatve ntegers (thus count data, whch cannot be negatve, are better represented by Posson than normal dstrbutons) Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 14/48

15 Generalzed Lnear Models Random Component Negatve bnomal Ths s smlar to the Posson dstrbuton, also used for count data, but s used when the varance s larger than the mean. Typcally ths s characterzed by "there beng too many 0's." It s not assumed all cases have an equal probablty of experencng the rare event, but rather that events may cluster. The negatve bnomal model s therefore sometmes called the "over dspersed Posson model". Values must stll be non-negatve ntegers The negatve bnomal s specfed by an ancllary /dsperson parameter, k. When k=0, the negatve bnomal s dentcal to the Posson dstrbuton Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 15/48

16 Generalzed Lnear Models Systematc component The lnear predctor Quantty wtch ncorporates the nformaton about the depended varables nto the model A matrx of N observatons and of p varables A lnear predctor p x j 1 j j Where each the j x j s the value of the j varable for the observaton s a vector of unknown parameters to be estmated Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 16/48

17 Generalzed Lnear Models Lnk functon The lnk functon s the transformaton of the dependent varable whch s modeled Predctors have a non lnear effect on the dependent OLS and GLM n general use an dentty functon, modelng the actual value of the dependent varable n a lnear fashon Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 17/48

18 Generalzed Lnear Models Lnk functon Provdes the relatonshp between the lnear predctor and the mean of the dstrbuton functon The way the two prevous components relate to each other It s a monotonous and dfferentable functon that transforms g n (one functon for each observaton ) The same functon for all observatons E 1 Y g 0 1X 1... p X p e Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 18/48

20 Generalzed Lnear Models Lnk functon It s used to mantan a lnear relatonshp between the coeffcents and predctors on the rght hand sde of the model equaton and the dependent transformed by the lnk functon on the left hand sde of the equaton The choces on the lnk functon depend on the dstrbuton selected Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 20/48

47 GZLM for count of events Negatve Bnomal Regresson Tests on over dsperson Lagrange Multpler test (SPSS) The Lagrange multpler test may be used to test f a negatve bnomal model s sgnfcantly dfferent from a Posson model Snce the negatve bnomal model s the same as the Posson model when the bnomal model's ancllary (dsperson) parameter, k, equals 0, the Lagrange multpler test s a test of the null hypothess that k = 0 A non-sgnfcant Lagrange test coeffcent ndcates that k cannot be assumed to be dfferent from 0, and hence a Posson model would be preferred over a negatve bnomal model (negatve bnomal models have one more parameter, k) Phd n Transportaton / Transport Demand Modellng 47/48
