### How to perform over-dispersion test where null is quasi-Poisson

If I understand correctly, a quasi Poisson regression assumes roughly that  \mbox{E}\left[y\left|x\right.\right] = \exp{\left(x^{\top}\beta\right)}, \quad \mbox{VAR}\left(y\left|x\right.\right) = \...

### Overcoming model singularity in overdispersed data set

I am analysing a data set that is created from walking transects and recording counts for each group size of animals observed. Each transect has 41 repeats, which was approximately 80% zeros. However, ...

### Why do different negative binomial regression functions produce different coefficients, p-values

I have a dataset consisting of number of mutations per person. Covariates I think may be related are age and source of the DNA sample. I want to determine whether the disease the person has ...

### Effectively using coefficients from poisson regression

This is maybe annoyingly easy for some, but I am completely new to regression. As an example, I shall use the data set in R, called mtcars. I am interested in the ...
