In addition to exploring small - sample bias on negative binomial estimates , the study addresses estimation from datasets <*> and from disease transmission data subject to selection bias for successful outbreaks .
This article presents a simulation study exploring the bias , precision , and confidence interval coverage of maximum - likelihood estimates of k from highly overdispersed distributions .
In addition to exploring small - sample bias on negative binomial estimates , the study addresses estimation from datasets influenced by two types of event under - counting , and from disease transmission data subject to selection bias for successful outbreaks .
