Event Count Models

摘要

When the dependent variable is a count variable, assumptions of linear regression are violated. Event count models are better suited. We look at Poisson, quasi-Poisson, and negative binomial models and how to choose the right one. We learn another inverted link function and discuss the limitations of quasi-models in model comparison.
