Modeling Dispersed Count Data: Evaluating the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson Regression with COVID-19 Mortality Data
Abstract: Count data are prevalent in diverse fields such as biology, healthcare, psychology, and marketing, characterized by non-negativity and inherent heteroskedasticity, often exhibiting overdispersion or underdispersion. Traditional Poisson regression, which assumes equal mean and variance, is inadequate for such dispersed data. To address this, various generalized linear models (GLMs) and their extensions, including negative binomial (NB) and Conway–Maxwell–Poisson (CMP) regressions, are utilized.
