How individual characteristics affect university students drop-out: a semiparametric mixed-effects model for an Italian case study

F Belloc, A Maruotti, L Petrella - Journal of applied Statistics, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
University drop-out is a topic of increasing concern in Italy as well as in other countries. In
empirical analysis, university drop-out is generally measured by means of a binary variable …

Model-based clustering using copulas with applications

I Kosmidis, D Karlis - Statistics and computing, 2016 - Springer

CO2 emissions and growth: A bivariate bidimensional mean‐variance random effects model

A Maruotti, P Alaimo Di Loro - Environmetrics, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We introduce a bivariate bidimensional mixed‐effects regression model, motivated by the
analysis of CO 2 CO _2 emission levels and growth on OECD countries from 1990 to 2018 …

Analyzing longitudinal circular data by projected normal models: a semi-parametric approach based on finite mixture models

A Maruotti - Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2016 - Springer
The analysis of circular data has been recently the focus of a wide range of literature, with
the general objective of providing reliable parameter estimates in the presence of …

[HTML][HTML] A two-state mixed hidden Markov model for risky teenage driving behavior

JC Jackson, PS Albert, Z Zhang - The annals of applied statistics, 2015 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
This paper proposes a joint model for longitudinal binary and count outcomes. We apply the
model to a unique longitudinal study of teen driving where risky driving behavior and the …

[HTML][HTML] Type I multivariate zero-truncated/adjusted Poisson distributions with applications

GL Tian, Y Liu, ML Tang, X Jiang - Journal of computational and applied …, 2018 - Elsevier
Although there is substantial literature on the univariate zero-truncated Poisson (ZTP)
distributions, few works have been done for developing multivariate ZTP distributions with …

A two‐part mixed‐effects pattern‐mixture model to handle zero‐inflation and incompleteness in a longitudinal setting

A Maruotti - Biometrical Journal, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Two‐part regression models are frequently used to analyze longitudinal count data with
excess zeros, where the same set of subjects is repeatedly observed over time. In this …

A new multivariate zero‐adjusted Poisson model with applications to biomedicine

Y Liu, GL Tian, ML Tang, KC Yuen - Biometrical Journal, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
