Abstract:
|
We present a generalized fiducial framework for a class of univariate discrete distributions. This class includes poisson and logistic regression from generalized linear models, but also allows the means for poisson and bernoulli random variables be modeled as a linear function of the explanatory variables. A Monte Carlo method for generating the fiducial distribution for the parameters is illustrated using poisson regression and the results of ongoing simulations comparing this method to standard methods will be summarized.
