Abstract

In several application fields, we have to model a response that takes values in a limited range. When these values may be transformed into rates, proportions, concentrations, that is to continuous values in the unit interval, beta regression may be the appropriate choice. In the presence of unobserved heterogeneity, for example when the population of interest is composed by different subgroups, finite mixture of beta regression models could be useful. When conditions of exogeneity of the covariates set are not met, extended modeling approaches should be proposed. For this purpose, we discuss the class of cluster-weighted beta regression models.
