A Nonstationary Negative Binomial Time Series With Time-Dependent Covariates
含时变协变量的非平稳负二项时间序列模型
Boston Harbor has a history of poor water quality, including contamination by enteric pathogens. We conduct a statistical analysis of data collected by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) between 1996 and 2002 to evaluate the effects of court-mandated improvements in sewage treatment.
