Abstract

Random effects model is one of the widely used statistical techniques in combining information from multiple independent studies and examine the heterogeneity. The present study has focussed on count data model which is comparatively uncommon in such research studies. Also the interest is to exploit the advantage of Bayesian modelling by incorporating plausible prior distributions on the parameter of interest. The study is illustrated with a data on rental bikes obtained from UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository. Results have indicated the impact of prior distributions and usage of heterogeneity estimators in count data models.
