Sentence examples for deviance parameter from inspiring English sources

The deviance parameter in the GLZ-model was rescaled to correct for over dispersion.

Country- and database-specific IRs for CM were estimated by Poisson regression (PROC GENMOD, SAS 9.2) with a deviance scale parameter to account for overdispersion in the data.

For this model, we used food availability before ('early') and after ('late') the switch as factors, full factorial design, log-link, deviance scaling parameter; (Norusis 2007) and DE as dependent variable.

Model selection was based on Akaike's Information Criterion AICC); the model with the lowest AIC value was considered as the best compromise between model deviance and model parameters [39].

As alternative methods for seasonal controls, periodic harmonic functions called Fourier series, formed by the sum of sines and cosines, and smoothing splines of observation time were also fit in the models, and compared by AIC, deviance, and overdispersion parameters.

For the logic regression model in equation 8, the goal is to find the Boolean expressions L j that minimize the binomial deviance, with the parameters β j and the Boolean expressions L j estimated simultaneously.

The base (or covariate free) model was selected by comparing the deviance information criteria and parameter CrI among several potential model structures.

Unadjusted Cox/Poisson regression and Poisson regression with scale parameter adjusted by deviance performed worst in terms of interval estimates.

The analysis of deviance penalized by the dispersion parameter [ 17] was used to assess the relevance of the variability.

Model fit was assessed by inspection of the overdispersion parameter, the model deviance as well as patterns and magnitude of the residuals.

Table 3 shows that the preferred model had a deviance of 30 592.5 and one parameter less than the model with the optimised initial slope (deviance=30 592.3).
