BETA REGRESSION FOR MODELLING RATES AND …

(2) and var(y) = pq (p+q)2(p+q +1) ... (p ¡ 1)=(p + q ¡ 2). The uniform distribution is a particular case of (1) when p = q = 1. Estimation of p and q by maximum likelihood and the application of small sample bias ... As a first illustration, consider the dataset collected by Prater (1956). The dependent variable is the proportion of crude ...

modeling (Bengio et al., 2003), paraphrase detec-tion (Socher et al., 2011) and word embedding ex-traction (Mikolov et al., 2013). In the field of sta-tistical machine translation (SMT), deep neural networks have begun to show promising results. (Schwenk, 2012) summarizes a successful usage of feedforward neural networks in the framework
