I have been reviewing our quasi-related threads, and have edited the wiki excerpt of quasi-likelihood to read:
In GLMs, quasi-likelihood estimation is a way to allow over- or under-dispersion by choosing an appropriate variance function. It's often used for count data, e.g. in quasi-binomial or quasi-Poisson models; there it does not correspond to any actual count distribution.
I would suggest to make quasi-binomial×13 and [quasi-poisson]
(currently not existing) synonyms of this more general [quasi-likelihood]
tag. I don't think we have enough threads to warrant splitting this into narrow sub-tags.
In fact, I was going to manually retag all [quasi-binomial]
questions into [quasi-likelihood]
+[binomial]
, but @Glen_b suggested to raise it on Meta, and it's probably a good idea to have these synonym mappings anyway.
