Abstract

This paper proposes a regression model where the dependent variable is beta distributed. Therefore the observations of the dependent variable must fall within (0,1) interval. This beta regression model produces two regression coefficients: one for the model of the mean and one for the model of the dispersion. Parameter estimation is performed by maximum likelihood and Bayesian method. Finally, numerical study is presented.
