    Abstract: This paper aims at determining if the assumed fundamental structure of the error component (unit mean and constant variance) is maintained after the square root transformation of a Weibull-distributed error component of a multiplicative model and also to investigate what happens to variance of the transformed and untransformed in terms of equality ...

    Abstract: For modeling count data, the Poisson regression model is widely used in which the response variable takes non-negative integer values. However, the presence of strong correlation between the explanatory variables causes the problem of multicollinearity. Due to multicollinearity, the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) will be inflate... Show More
