The Poisson model and analyses here feature nonexchangeable gamma distributions (although exchangeable following a scale transformation) for individual parameters, with standard deviations ...

Individuals diagnosed with advanced breast, colorectal, non–small-cell lung, or pancreatic cancer from 2009 to 2012 (N = 25,032) were identified with data from the California Cancer Registry (CCR).

Test statistics for evaluating the significance of added variables in a regression equation are developed for mixed Poisson models, where the structural parameter φ that determines the mean/variance ...

This is the seventh in a series of lecture notes which, if tied together into a textbook, might be entitled “Practical Regression.” The purpose of the notes is to supplement the theoretical content of ...

In this module, we will introduce generalized linear models (GLMs) through the study of binomial data. In particular, we will motivate the need for GLMs; introduce the binomial regression model, ...
