Summary Cryptococcal meningitis is mainly caused by members of the C. neoformans/C. gattii species complexes. The ecological niches Cryptococcus have extensively been studied, but its epidemiological relationship with cases still unknown. In this study, we estimate between cryptococcal and tree pigeon populations, classical neoformans / sensu lato . We analysed records every patient whose cerebrospinal fluid culture yielded spp. during last 30 years at Clinical Hospital Curitiba. Data about...
In this paper, we further extend the recently proposed Poisson-Tweedie regression models to include a linear predictor for dispersion as well expectation of count response variable. The family considered is specified using only second-moments assumptions, where variance has form μ+ϕμp $\mu + \phi \mu^p$, µ expectation, ϕ and p are power parameters, respectively. Parameter estimations carried out an estimating function approach obtained by combining quasi-score Pearson functions. performance...
