  <dc:title>Diagnostics and Models for Underdispersed Count Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package underdisp version 0.1.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tools for detecting and modeling underdispersion in count data
    (conditional variance below the conditional mean), the case the Poisson and
    negative binomial defaults cannot represent. Provides a screening diagnostic
    that benchmarks at-risk dispersion against a zero-truncated Poisson,
    regression-adjusted tests of equidispersion, and a dispersion profile that
    compares the variance-to-mean curves of competing families against the data;
    the continuous parameter binomial (CPB) and generalized event count (Katz)
    regressions with zero-truncated, hurdle, and zero-inflated forms and
    high-dimensional fixed effects with a split-panel jackknife bias correction;
    matched Poisson, negative binomial, COM-Poisson (rate- and mean-parameterized),
    generalized Poisson, gamma-count, and double Poisson regressions through the
    same interface, with frequency weights, offsets, and analytic, robust, and
    cluster-robust standard errors; bootstrap and profile-likelihood inference;
    proper scoring rules, rootograms, PIT histograms, and simulation methods; and
    quantities of interest including predicted distributions, the implied ceiling,
    rate ratios, and first differences with an extensive/intensive decomposition.
    The likelihoods are implemented in C++.</dc:description>
