The analysis of the total expenses of medical services of an individual during a given year can be split up into two parts: the analysis of the probability of having non-zero expenses, and the analysis of the amount of the non-zero expenses. In this paper we construct a logic model for the first component, to trace which factors influence this probability. We apply three procedures to estimate the coefficients of the model, namely: maximum likelihood, logit minimum chi-square and non-linear least squares. The model is applied to Dutch health insurance data, for different sets of explanatory factors. The results suggest that the third procedure is inferior to the other two, and that the first two differ only in required CPU time. |
