Abstract

In this paper, we consider hierarchical Bayes generalized linear models for the analysis of longitudinal count data. Specifically we introduce the hierarchical Bayes random effects models. We discuss implementation of the Bayes procedures via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) integration techniques. The hierarchical Baye method is illustrated with a real dataset and is compared with other statistical methods.
