Efficiency Lost by Analyzing Counts Rather than Event Times in Poisson and Overdispersed Poisson Regression Models
泊松与过度离散泊松回归中以计数代替事件时间的效率损失
Inference for point processes is most efficient if the event times for each individual are available. Sometimes, the study design is such that only aggregated data are collected, consisting of the number of events or recurrences for each individual over the observation period. This article discusses the loss in efficiency of an analysis of the aggregated counts versus an analysis of the actual event times. One particular case is exemplified—that in which the purpose of the…
