Chapter 4 Poisson Models for CountDataIn this chapter we study log-linear Models for Count data under the assump-tion of a Poisson error structure. These Models have many applications, notonly to the analysis of counts of events, but also in the context of Models forcontingency tables and the analysis of survival Introduction to Poisson RegressionAs usual, we start by introducing an example that will serve to illustrativeregression Models for Count data. We then introduce the Poisson distributionand discuss the rationale for modeling the logarithm of the mean as a linearfunction of observed covariates.
These models have many applications, not only to the analysis of counts of events, but also in the context of models for contingency tables and the analysis of survival data. 4.1 Introduction to Poisson Regression As usual, we start by introducing an example that will serve to illustrative regression models for count data.
