Poisson Overdispersion Estimates Based on the Method of Asymmetric Maximum Likelihood
基于非对称极大似然的泊松过度离散估计
A common difficulty in regression problems with Poisson (or binomial or other exponential family) response variables is over-dispersion: the scatter around the fitted regression is too large by the standards of Poisson variability. This article concerns the description, estimation, and testing of various patterns of overdispersion, with particular emphasis on the Poisson case. Asymmetric maximum likelihood (AML) is a method of fitting regressions for the conditional…
