Abstract

Agricultural research incorporates data which are in the form of discrete counts or proportions based on counts. This kind of data are usually non-normally distributed that can cause issues with parameter estimation and prediction if the usual general linear model framework is applied as they do not satisfy the assumptions of linear models. Here we studied the performance of generalized linear model within Bayesian framework with some asymptotic analytic tools and simulation techniques to the analysis of proportion data with different link functions. The results obtained through the exact as well as asymptotic inference have been compared through open source software such as R and JAGS.
