Title: A Comparison Study of Models for the Human Sex Ratio
Author(s): Sibabrata Banerjee*+ and Wonsuk Yoo
Companies: New Jersey Institute of Technology and New Jersey Institute of Technology
Address: 815 Devon Street, Apt 3, Kearny, NJ, 07032, United States
Keywords: sex-ratio ; overdispersion ; non-linear regression
Abstract:

Human sex ratio is always close to unity. If it moves too far away from unity, we face the risk of extinction. Therefore, it is a matter of great interest in population statistics. Overdispersion models often are used to fit human sex ratio. This study involves fitting several models using classical and modern techniques and a comparison would be made between these methods.
