Is the loglinear model equivalent to Poisson regression?
On the next slide we will consider the boys scout data and the homogeneous model (DS, BS, DB), and see once again how this ties in with the discussion in the Section B of Lesson 5. Loglinear model is also equivalent to poisson regression model when all explanatory variables are discrete.
How is a Poisson regression used in contingency tables?
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. A Poisson regression model is sometimes known as a log-linear model, especially when used to model contingency tables.
Which is the best generalization of Poisson regression?
Negative binomial regression is a popular generalization of Poisson regression because it loosens the highly restrictive assumption that the variance is equal to the mean made by the Poisson model. The traditional negative binomial regression model, commonly known as NB2, is based on the Poisson-gamma mixture distribution.
What is the Poisson distribution of a GLM model?
Poisson regression is a type of a GLM model where the random component is specified by the Poisson distribution of the response variable which is a count. Before we look at the Poisson regression model, let’s quickly review the Poisson distribution.
They are related in a sense that the loglinear models are more general than logit models, and some logit models are equivalent to certain loglinear models (e.g. consider the admissions data example or boys scout example).
