v. t. e. In statistics, Poisson regression is a generalized linear model form of regression analysis used to model count data and contingency tables. [1] Poisson regression assumes the response variable Y has a Poisson distribution, and assumes the logarithm of its expected value can be modeled by a linear combination of unknown parameters.
The Poisson distribution is an appropriate model if the following assumptions are true: k is the number of times an event occurs in an interval and k can take values 0, 1, 2, ... . The occurrence of one event does not affect the probability that a second event will occur. That is, events occur independently.
Conway–Maxwell–Poisson. In probability theory and statistics, the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson (CMP or COM–Poisson) distribution is a discrete probability distribution named after Richard W. Conway, William L. Maxwell, and Siméon Denis Poisson that generalizes the Poisson distribution by adding a parameter to model overdispersion and ...
Zero-inflated models are commonly used in the analysis of count data, such as the number of visits a patient makes to the emergency room in one year, or the number of fish caught in one day in one lake. [1] Count data can take values of 0, 1, 2, … (non-negative integer values). [2] Other examples of count data are the number of hits recorded ...
A visual depiction of a Poisson point process starting. In probability theory, statistics and related fields, a Poisson point process (also known as: Poisson random measure, Poisson random point field and Poisson point field) is a type of mathematical object that consists of points randomly located on a mathematical space with the essential feature that the points occur independently of one ...
In probability theory, the zero-truncated Poisson (ZTP) distribution is a certain discrete probability distribution whose support is the set of positive integers. This distribution is also known as the conditional Poisson distribution[1] or the positive Poisson distribution. [2] It is the conditional probability distribution of a Poisson ...
Fixed-effect Poisson model. In statistics, a fixed-effect Poisson model is a Poisson regression model used for static panel data when the outcome variable is count data. Hausman, Hall, and Griliches pioneered the method in the mid 1980s. Their outcome of interest was the number of patents filed by firms, where they wanted to develop methods to ...
Hurdle model. A hurdle model is a class of statistical models where a random variable is modelled using two parts, the first which is the probability of attaining value 0, and the second part models the probability of the non-zero values. The use of hurdle models are often motivated by an excess of zeroes in the data, that is not sufficiently ...
