The objectives of this research are to propose a proper model for defective products in an autoparts manufacturing industry to apply the proposed model to the defective products data to investigate the factors related to the machines producing defective products and to compare the proposed model with the generalized estimating equations model (GEE). The proposed model is a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) in which the dependent variables have a Poisson distribution. The parameter are estimated using a Bayesian method. The data were collected from 12 machines 15 days for each machine from an autoparts manufacturing factory. The data collection dates vary depending on the working steps and the product types. The results show that the proposed model fits the data. The factors related to the machines producing defective products are working steps workers and product types. According to the estimates of the factors effects the working step producing the largest number of defective products is the working step 2 followed by the working steps 3 1 and 4 respectively. The worker producing the largest of defective products is the worker 4 followed by the workers 10 5 8 6 2 3 1 7 and 9 respectively. The product type 3 has the largest number of defective products followed by the product types 2 and 1 respectively. If the population-averaged effects are focused the GEE is applied. However the subject-specific is focused the GLMM is applied.

The objectives of this research are to estimate the morbidity rates of Hypertension and Ischemic heart disease in each province of Thailand to investigate factors influencing on the morbidity rates and to construct the disease maps of those two diseases. The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) in which the responses have a Poisson distribution and the spatial effects are a multivariate conditional autoregressive model (MCAR) are adopted. The provincial secondary data sets consisting of a number of Hypertension and Ischemic heart disease patients an average income per head and a student proportion were collected. The results show the average income per head (Relative Risk (RR) = 1.0002) and student proportion (RR = 1.0186) influence the morbidity rates of Hypertension and Ischemic heart disease. Hypertension and Ischemic maps are easy for readers to see which areas are at high risk. They are a useful tool for planning and controlling the Hypertension and Ischemic heart disease.
