We present here an alternative definition of the P-value for statistical hypothesis test of a real-valued parameter for a continuous random variable X . Our approach uses neither the notion of Type I error nor the assumption that null hypothesis is true. Inst…

Count data is almost always over-dispersed where the variance exceeds the mean. Several count data models have been proposed by researchers but the problem of over-dispersion still remains unresolved, more so in the context of change point analysis. This stud…
