Abstract:
|
The COM-Poisson distribution of Conway and Maxwell is used in weighted Poisson regression to model phenomena which are significantly under- or over-dispersed. This flexibility in modeling dispersion derives from the property of duality inherent in the Poisson distribution, in distinction to most other discrete models. Other distributions also possess duality and provide for even more flexibility in modeling. Two will be discussed and examples of inference will be shown.
