Abstract
A Bayesian predictive method is proposed for forecasting a binomial va riate where the success probability varies across sites and years, in the presence of covariates. This is applied to the problem of forecast ing, for the next year, participation in an annual conference whose lo cation rotates and whose potential participants come from a number of specified countries or regions.
