A New Regression Model for ProportionsJorge Luis BazánPontificia Universidad Católica del PerúCristian BayesPontificia Universidad Católica del PerúCatalina GarcíaUniversidad de GranadaA new regression model is proposed for proportions by considering the beta rectangular distributionrecently published by Hann (2008). This new model includes the beta regression model, introducedby Ferrari and Cribari (2004), as a particular case. A Bayesian inference approach is adopted usinga Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. A simulation study is carried out to evaluate theperformance of the proposed algorithm in terms of parameter recovery. The developed model will beillustrated using real data sets in a subsequent work.59
