Poisson distributed data is intrinsically integer-valued, which makes sense for count data. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS, which you call "linear regression") assumes that true values are …

Sep 8, 2022 · Why should Poisson Regression be used for Count Data instead of a "vanilla linear regression"? I understand the basic argument : Count Data is by definition discrete and you …

A Poisson regression is a regression where the outcome variable consists of non-negative integers, and it is sensible to assume that the variance and mean of the model are the same. …

Oct 4, 2015 · The Poisson distribution arises from the Poisson process, in which the time between events is exponentially distributed, and hence there is a natural connection to survival …

This was in discussions of interpreting logistic regression coefficients, but Poisson regression is similar if you use an offset of time at risk to get rates. You add first all the coefficients …

Mar 29, 2023 · 3 I am trying to perform an apriori power analysis to estimate sample size for a Poisson regression model. The background is that a RCT is proposed to compare the rate of …

Here is an example of application. Poisson regression is typically used to model count data. But, sometimes, it is more relevant to model rates instead of counts. This is relevant when, e.g., …

From Poisson regression, relative risks can be reported, which some have argued are easier to interpret compared with odds ratios, especially for frequent outcomes, and especially by …

I am looking for some information about the difference between binomial, negative binomial and Poisson regression and for which situations are these regression best fitted.

Dec 7, 2017 · Poisson regressions are oftern used to model number of pregnancies or living children, but nothing to say against the fact that it is not the perfect distribution for this data …
