4 1. Introduction: Motivations The overdispersion phenomenon is frequent and can be induced by the zero-inflation ones, these phenomena are defined w.r. to Poisson; see, e.g., ab c d. Count models have been built through compounding and mixture of Poisson distribution. 1) How to do when the degree or level of overdispersion is very high? 2) Should we relativize its measure with respect to another reference count distribution than Poisson? 3) How to built a new family of ultra-overdispersed count models? a Hinde, J. and Demétrio, C.G.B.

Decomposition of number of buildings maintenance actions Y i having age i as a geometric sum of maintenance actions per building. For p {0} [1, ), the class of Poisson-Tweedie (PTw p ( m, φ)): l=1 Z Tw p ( m, φ) and PT Z Poisson(Z) PT PTw p ( m, φ) has moments EPT = m and VarPT = m + φ m p.

The regression coefficients were fixed at the values, β 0 = 1, β 1 = 1 and β 2 = 0.9. We use different sample sizes (n = 500, 1000 and 5000) generating 1000 data sets in each case. We considered three values of the Tweedie power parameter p = 1.5, 2, 3 combined with three values of the dispersion parameter φ = 0.5, 1, 1.5.

31 Geometric dispersion models (0) Let µ be a probability measure. (1) The geometric cumulant function of µ (Jørgensen & Kokonendji, 2011) is C µ (θ) = 1 1 L µ (θ) on (µ) = { θ R; 0 < L µ (θ) < }. (2) In general, the application θ C µ(θ) is not strictly monotone on (µ). -Let (µ) (µ) be an interval for which C µ is strictly monotone on (µ). -The application θ C µ(θ) is a diffeomorphism between (µ) and C µ ( (µ)) =: Φ µ. Denote ϕ µ := (C µ) 1. (3) v-function: m V µ (m) = C µ (ϕ µ )(m) on Φ µ. -Denote Φ µ := C µ( (µ)) and Φ + µ := C µ( + (µ)). Then, V µ (m) < 0 on Φ µ and V µ (m) > 0 on Φ + µ. Note: V µ = Var E 2.

32 How to derive GDMs from EDMs with (µ) = (µ)? Let µ be a probability measure. (1) If there exists a probability measure ν such that C µ (θ) = K ν (θ), then (µ) = {θ (µ); C µ (θ) = K ν (θ) > 0} = (µ). ν(µ) : Prop. below. (2) If there exists a probability measure ν such that C µ (θ) = K ν (θ), then (µ) = {θ (µ); C µ (θ) = K (θ) < 0} = (µ). ν(µ)?! ν Proposition (Exponential mixtures distributions) Let µ be a probability measure and ν an infinitely divisible σ-finite positive measure. Consider F(ν) = {P(θ, ν); θ Θ(ν)}. The following assertions are equivalent: (i) For all m Φ + µ, V µ (m) = V F(ν) (m). (ii) The measure µ is an exponential mixture measure µ(dy) = e x P( γ, ν x )(dy)dx, (3) 0 with γ Θ(ν) and ν x denotes the x-th convolution of ν, that is L ν x (θ) = (L ν (θ)) x. Note: Under assumption of infinite divisibility, the corresponding exponential mixture has v-function identical to the variance function V F(ν).
