Poisson regression, 2012

Hi,

These are materials for Poisson regression course, 2012. This year I use R version 2.15.2.

If you are eager to know why the maximum likelihood estimation method is that tricky, please read some textbooks specific to this matter.

The functions for Poisson regression are within ice package.

The module can be downloaded here.

You can also download ICE modules from ice and epid. However, they are not necessary for this session.

Finally, you can follow my R script file below. Don't forget to change working directory to yours.
