Abstract: "Written for practicing researchers and statisticians who need to update their knowledge of Poisson and negative binomial models, the book provides a comprehensive overview of estimating methods and algorithms used to model counts, as well as specific modeling guidelines, model selection techniques, methods of interpretation, and assessment of model goodness of fit. Data sets and modeling code are provided on a companion website."--Jacket.
