Methods for Identifying and Dealing with Overdispersed Regression Models - Continuing Education - Course
ASA
Instructor(s): Joseph M. Hilbe, Arizona State University
We will define overdispersion in the context of binomial and count models and specify the difference between apparent and real overdispersion and how to identify each. We also will show methods that can be used to eradicate apparent overdispersion from a model, as well as discuss methods used to deal with real overdispersion.
