The Fast Decay Process in Outdoor Recreational Activities and the Use of Alternative Count Data Models
指出标准计数数据模型无法处理休闲需求分析中常见的快速衰减和长尾现象，提出八种替代模型，并通过实例验证其中四种表现良好。
Despite a number of significant advances in count data modeling during the last two decades and the growing popularity of these models in recreation demand analysis, standard count data models are inadequate to address the fast decay process of the dependent variable and the associated long tail. This article demonstrates how one and two‐parameter alternative count data models can be used to properly model the fast decay process and the associated long tail commonly observed in recreation demand analysis. Econometric results from an illustrative application suggest satisfactory performance of four of the eight alternative count data models proposed in this article.
