Özet

The Bell regression model (BRM), a member of the generalized linear models (GLMs), can be used when the dependent variable consists of overdispersed count data. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is generally used to estimate unknown regression coefficients. The major drawback of the MLE is an inflated variance when multicollinearity problems occur. In this study, we proposed a new biased estimator to cope with the multicollinearity in the BRM. The simulation study is conducted to illustrate the performance of the proposed estimator over the MLE and Bell ridge estimator (BRE). Also, we give real data examples to approve the applicability of the proposed estimator in real data problems.
