Fitting different distributions for NESARC – example of Non-Hispanic White men Best fit: Weibull Gamma Gamma Distribution f(x; θ, k) = 1/( θk Γ(k)) xk-1 exp{- x / θ} Mean Estimate for the Gamma Distribution = θk Variance = θ2k Empirical and theoretical Gamma estimates for mean have to be identical, and variance estimates were quite similar based on 100 surveys from 60 countries (see next slide). Better properties for transferring results to other populations than Weibull. Prediction of standard deviation from mean of the distribution Mean in g/day Standard deviation of Gamma distribution
