Abstract. In various experiments, data interactions take the form of discrete numbers or counts. The model that can be used for these data is the Poisson regression model. Poisson regression is included in the Generalized Linear Model (GLM). Poisson regression in general is very important in various fields and agreed to receive special attention. Often this model needs many independent variables. Then there needs to be a selection of poisson regression model variables. Due to the number of independent variables that exist, the selection of variables is carried out. Variable selection techniques that are commonly known are the forward, backward method, akaike information criteria and several other methods. In this paper, we will discuss one method of selecting variables in the Poisson regression model that has been made in the algorithm created by Famoye and Rothe. The algorithm created will be compared with the algorithm made by Nordberg. In this study data were used on Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in West Java Province. Abstrak. Dalam berbagai eksperimen, seringkali data berupa bilangan diskrit atau cacah. Model yang dapat digunakan untuk data tersebut diantaranya adalah model regresi poisson. Regresi poisson termasuk kedalam Generalized Linear Model (GLM).  Regresi poisson secara umum sangat penting dalam berbagai bidang dan karenanya patut mendapat perhatian khusus. Seringkali model ini melibatkan banyak variabel independen. Maka perlu adanya cara untuk mempertimbangkan pemilihan variabel model regresi poisson. Dikarenakan banyaknya variabel independen yang ada maka  dilakukan penyeleksian variabel. Teknik pemilihan variabel yang sudah biasa dikenal yaitu metode forward, backward, akaike information criterion dan beberapa metode lainnya. Pada makalah ini akan dibahas mengenai salah satu metode pemilihan variabel dalam model regresi poisson yang telah dibentuk dalam algoritma yang dibuat oleh Famoye dan Rothe. Algortitma yang dibuat ini akan dibandingkan dengan algoritma yang telah dibuat oleh Nordberg. Pada penelitian ini  digunakan data mengenai Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) di Provinsi Jawa Barat.

Abstract Background Since December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread quickly among the population and brought a severe global impact. However, considerable geographical disparities in the distribution of COVID-19 incidence existed among different cities. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of sociodemographic factors on COVID-19 incidence of 342 cities in China from a geographic perspective. Methods Official surveillance data about the COVID-19 and sociodemographic information in China’s 342 cities were collected. Local geographically weighted Poisson regression (GWPR) model and traditional generalized linear models (GLM) Poisson regression model were compared for optimal analysis. Results Compared to that of the GLM Poisson regression model, a significantly lower corrected Akaike Information Criteria (AICc) was reported in the GWPR model (61953.0 in GLM vs. 43218.9 in GWPR). Spatial auto-correlation of residuals was not found in the GWPR model (global Moran’s I = − 0.005, p = 0.468), inferring the capture of the spatial auto-correlation by the GWPR model. Cities with a higher gross domestic product (GDP), limited health resources, and shorter distance to Wuhan, were at a higher risk for COVID-19. Furthermore, with the exception of some southeastern cities, as population density increased, the incidence of COVID-19 decreased. Conclusions There are potential effects of the sociodemographic factors on the COVID-19 incidence. Moreover, our findings and methodology could guide other countries by helping them understand the local transmission of COVID-19 and developing a tailored country-specific intervention strategy.

This study reports age- and sex-specific incidence rates of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in complete Danish birth cohorts from 1992 through 2002. Data were obtained from the Danish registries. All persons born in Denmark, from 1992–2002, were followed from birth and until either the date of first diagnosis recording, death, emigration, 16th birthday or administrative censoring (17 May 2017), whichever came first. The number of incident JIA cases and its incidence rate (per 100,000 person-years) were calculated within sex and age group for each of the birth cohorts. A multiplicative Poisson regression model was used to analyze the variation in the incidence rates by age and year of birth for boys and girls separately. The overall incidence of JIA was 24.1 (23.6–24.5) per 100,000 person-years. The rate per 100,000 person-years was higher among girls (29.9 (29.2–30.7)) than among boys (18.5 (18.0–19.1)). There were no evident peaks for any age group at diagnosis for boys but for girls two small peaks appeared at ages 0–5 years and 12–15 years. This study showed that the incidence rates of JIA in Denmark were higher for girls than for boys and remained stable over the observed period for both sexes.

A Poisson model typically is assumed for count data. In many cases, there are many zeros in the dependent variable and because of these many zeros, the mean and the variance values of the dependent variable are not the same as before. In fact, the variance value of the dependent variable will be much more than the mean value of the dependent variable and this is called over–dispersion. Therefore, Poisson model is not suitable anymore for this kind of data because of too many zeros. Thus, it is suggested to use a hurdle Poisson regression model to overcome over–dispersion problem. Furthermore, the response variable in such cases is censored for some values. In this paper, a censored hurdle Poisson regression model is introduced on count data with many zeros. In this model, we consider a response variable and one or more than one explanatory variables. The estimation of regression parameters using the maximum likelihood method is discussed and the goodness–of–fit for the regression model is examined. We study the effects of right censoring on estimated parameters and their standard errors via an example.

This paper applies Poisson regression model to examine university students' travel frequencies and relevant influence factors, using the data collected from four universities in Beijing by a web-based online travel survey. It finds that student grade, family income and school attended have significant effects on students' travel frequency. The study results reveal students travel frequency characteristics at a disaggregate level and provide information to well understand student travel frequency patterns.
