Abstract
In parameter driven models, the main problem is likelihood approximation and also parameter estimation. One approach to this problem is to apply simpler likelihoods such as composite likelihood. In this paper, we first introduce the parameter driven models and composite likelihood and then define a new model selection criterion based on composite likelihood. Finally, we demonstrate composite likelihood's capabilities in inferences and accurate model selection in parameter driven models throughout a simulation study.

Abstract
In this paper the mixed Poisson regression model is discussed and a Poisson Birnbaum-Saunders regression model is introduced consider the over-dispersion. The Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is the mixture of two the generalized inverse Gaussian distributions, therefore it can be considered as an extension of traditional models. Our proposed model has less dimensional parameter space than the Poisson- generalized inverse Gaussian regression model. We also show that the proposed model has a closed form for likelihood function and we obtain its moments. The EM algorithm is used to estimate the parameters and its efficiency is compared with conventional models by a simulation study. An analysis of a real data is provided for more illustration.

Abstract
Many of spatial-temporal data, particularly in medicine and disease mapping, are counts. Typically, these types of count data have extra variability that distrusts the classical Poisson model's performance. Therefore, incorporating this variability into the modeling process, plays an essential role in improving the efficiency of spatial-temporal data analysis. For this purpose, in this paper, a new Bayesian spatial-temporal model, called gamma count, with enough flexibility in modeling dispersion is introduced. For implementing statistical inference in the proposed model, the integrated nested Laplace approximation method is applied. A simulation study was performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed model compared to the traditional models. In addition, the application of the model has been demonstrated in analyzing leukemia data in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran.
