Title: Using the Gamma-Poisson Model to Predict Library Circulations.
Language: English
Authors: Burrell, Quentin L.
Source: Journal of the American Society for Information Science. Apr 1990 41(3):164-170.
Peer Reviewed: Y
Page Count: 7
Publication Date: 1990
Document Type: Journal Articles
Opinion Papers
Reports - Research
Descriptors: Academic Libraries, Higher Education, Library Circulation, Mathematical Models, Predictive Measurement, Tables (Data)
Abstract: Argues that the gamma mixture of Poisson processes, for all its perceived defects, can be used to make predictions regarding future library book circulations of a quality adequate for general management requirements. The use of the model is extensively illustrated with data from two academic libraries. (Nine references) (CLB)
