3. 17. An Empirical Comparison of Static Count Panel Data Models: the Case of Vehicle Fires in Stockholm County

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Svante Pihl; Leonardo Olivetti; [2020]
   Keywords : Low-Mean Count Data; Poisson Regression; Negative-Binomial Regression; Panel Data Models; Vehicle Fires; Distributional Assumptions;

   Abstract : In this paper we study the occurrences of outdoor vehicle fires recorded by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) for the period 1998-2019, and build static panel data models to predict future occurrences of fire in Stockholm County. Through comparing the performance of different models, we look at the effect of different distributional assumptions for the dependent variable on predictive performance. READ MORE
