A STUDY OF GENERALIZED LINEAR MIXED MODEL FOR COUNT DATA USING HIERARCHICAL BAYES METHOD

Poisson Log-Normal Model is one of the hierarchical mixed models that can be used for count data. Several estimation methods can be used to estimate the model parameters. The first objective of this study was to examine the performance of the parameter estimator and model built using the Hierarchical Bayes method via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with simulation. The second objective was applied the Poisson Log-Normal model to the West Java illiteracy Cases data which is sourced from the Susenas data on March 2019. In 2019, the incidence of illiteracy is a very rare occurrence in West Java Province. So that, it is suitable as an application case in this study. The simulation results showed that the Hierarchical Bayes parameter estimator through MCMC has the smallest Root Mean Squared Error of Prediction (RMSEP) value and the absolute bias is relatively mostly similar when compared to the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Penalized Quasi-Likelihood (PQL) methods. Meanwhile, the empirical results showed that the fixed variable is the number of respondents who have a maximum education of elementary school have the greatest risk of illiteracy. Also, the diversity of census blocks significantly affects illiteracy cases in West Java 2019.

Late Reverberant Spectral Variance Estimation for Single-Channel Dereverberation Using Adaptive Parameter Estimator

The estimation of the late reverberant spectral variance (LRSV) is of paramount importance in most reverberation suppression algorithms. This letter proposes an improved single-channel LRSV estimator based on Habets LRSV estimator by using an adaptive parameter estimator. Instead of estimating the direct-to-reverberation ratio (DRR), the proposed LRSV estimator directly estimates the parameter κ in a generalized statistical model since the experimental results show that even the κ calculated using measured ground truth DRR may not be the optimal parameter for the LRSV estimator. Experimental results using synthetic reverberant signals demonstrate the superiority of the proposed estimator to conventional approaches.

Pemodelan Semiparametrik Geographical Weighted Logistic Regression pada Data Kemiskinan di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan Tahun 2017

The level of poverty in a Regency/city in South Sulawesi in 2017 is different. The grouping of poverty status can be done based on the value of the HeadCount Index (HCI) of South Sulawesi. Factors affecting poverty will differ for each area being observed. The statistical modeling method developed for data analysis by taking into account the location factor is semiparametric Geographical Weighted Logistic Regression (GWLR). The GWLR semiparametric Model consists of parameters that are affected by the location and not affected by the location. The parameter estimator of the GWLR semiparametric model used in this research was obtained using the maximum method likelihood estimation. The result of a semiparametric model of GWLR each district/city in South Sulawesi in 2017 has the value Estimator parameter for global parameters is the same value for each location, namely, a3 = 0.1724, a4 = 0.0204, and a6 = 0.0261 whereas the parameter estimator for local parameters has different values so that GWLR semiparametric model of each district/city.
