COVID-19 is currently threatening countries in the world. Presently in Nigeria, there are about 29,286 confirmed cases, 11,828 discharged and 654 deaths as of 6th July 2020. It is against this background that this study was targeted at modeling daily cases of COVID-19’s deaths in Nigeria using count regression models like; Poisson Regression (PR), Negative Binomial Regression (NBR) and Generalized Poisson Regression (GPR) model. The study aim at fitting an appropriate count Regression model to the confirmed, active and critical cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria after 118 days. The data for the study was extracted from the daily COVID-19 cases update released by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) online database from February 28th, 2020 – 6th, July 2020. The extracted data were used in the simulation of Poisson, Negative Binomial, and Generalized Poisson Regression model with a program written in STATA version 14 and fitted to the data at a 5% significance level. The best model was selected based on the values of -2logL, AIC, and BIC selection test/criteria. The results obtained from the analysis revealed that the Poisson regression could not capture over-dispersion, so other forms of Poisson Regression models such as the Negative Binomial Regression and Generalized Poisson Regression were used in the estimation. Of the three count Regression models, Generalized Poisson Regression was the best model for fitting daily cumulative confirmed, active and critical COVID-19 cases in Nigeria when overdispersion is present in the predictors because it had the least -2log-Likelihood, AIC, and BIC. It was also discovered that active and critical cases have a positive and significant effect on the number of COVID-19 related deaths in Nigeria.

Abstract Crime rate is the number of reported crimes divided by total population. Several factors could contribute the variability of crime rates among areas. This study aims to model the relationship between crime rates among regencies and cities in the East Java Province (Indonesia) and some potentially explanatory variables based on Statistics Indonesia publication in 2020. The crime rate in the East Java Province was consistently at the top three after DKI Jakarta and North Sumatra during 2017 to 2019. Therefore, it is interesting for us to study further about the crime rate in the East Java. Our preliminary analysis indicates that there is an overdispersion in our sample data. To overcome the overdispersion, we fit Generalized Poisson and Negative Binomial regression. The ratio of deviance and degree of freedom based on Negative Binomial is slightly smaller (1.38) than Generalized Poisson (1.99). The results indicate that Negative Binomial and Generalized Poisson regression, compared to standard Poisson regression, are relatively fit to model our crime rate data. Some factors which contribute significantly (α=0.05) for the crime rate in the East Java Province under Negative Binomial as well as Generalized Poisson regression are percentage of poor people, number of households, unemployment rate, and percentage of expenditure.

Poisson regression is a nonlinear regression that is often used to model count response variable and categorical, interval, or count regressor. This regression assumes equidispersion, i.e., the variance equals the mean. However, in practice, this assumption is often violated. One of this violation is overdispersion in which the variance is greater than the mean. There are several  methods to overcome overdispersion. Two of these methods are negative binomial regression and generalized Poisson regression. In this research, binomial negative regression and generalized Poisson regression statistically equally good in handling overdispersion.

Introduction: Despite the advances in cardiovascular diseases, death caused by these diseases is still considered as the leading cause of mortality. In this study, some of the effective factors on the deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases were investigated Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study investigated the efficacy of Poisson regression models and negative binomial regression models on factors affecting mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The death data were extracted from the death registration system for Yazd province in 2017.Gender, age, education, occupation, location, and city of death were also extracted for each deceased. The two regression models were then fitted to the data Results:  A total of 5,015 deaths were recorded, of which 1,642 were due to cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular disease mortality rates were significant using negative binomial regression in terms of the educational variables, place of residence, type of residence, and age. Death rates caused by cardiovascular diseases were not significant for age and occupational, educational, and residential variables. Conclusion: If the time of death is considered as an offset variable, the regression model of two negative sentences is more effective in showing the factors affecting death due to cardiovascular diseases according to AIC and BIC criteria. In the case that the total number of deaths is considered as the offset variable, the Poisson regression model is more efficient.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Banyumas Regency is one of the districts with quite high Tuberculosis cases in Central Java. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the number of tuberculosis cases in Banyumas Regency using regression analysis of count data. Poisson regression is the simplest count data regression model that has the assumption of equidispersion, that is, the mean value equal to the variance. However, in its application, these assumption is often not fulfilled, for example, there are cases of overdispersion (variance value is greater than the mean). In this study, to overcome the case of overdispersion, an approach was used using Generalized Poisson Regression (GPR) and negative binomial regression. The results showed that the data on the number of tuberculosis cases in Banyumas Regency in 2019 was overdispersion. The data modeling of the number of tuberculosis cases in Banyumas Regency with the negative binomial regression model is better than the GPR model. Meanwhile, the only predictor variable that affects the number of tuberculosis cases in Banyumas Regency is the sex ratio of productive age (15-49 years).

Based on data from the Directorate General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, in 2017, new leprosy cases that emerged on Java Island were the highest in Indonesia compared to the number of events on other islands. The purpose of this study is to compare Poisson regression to a negative binomial regression model to be applied to the data on the number of new cases of leprosy and to find out what explanatory variables have a significant effect on the number of new cases of leprosy in Java. This study's results indicate that a negative binomial regression model can overcome the Poisson regression model's overdispersion. Variables that significantly affect the number of new cases of leprosy based on the results of negative binomial regression modeling are total population, percentage of children under five years who had immunized with BCG, and percentage of the population with sustainable access to clean water.

The number of leper in West Java is an example of the count data case. The analyzes commonly used in count data is Poisson regression. This research will determine the variables that influence the number of leper in West Java. The data used is the number of leper in West Java in 2019. This data has an overdispersion condition and spatial heterogenity. To handle overdispersion, the negative binomial regression model can be employed. While spatial heterogenity is overcome by adding adaptive bisquare kernel weight. This research resulted Geographically Weighted Negative Binomial Regression (GWNBR) with a weighting adaptive bisquare kernel classifies regency/city in West Java into ten groups based on the variables that sigfinicantly influence the number of leper. In general, the variable in the percentage of households with Clean and Healthy Behavior (PHBS) has a significant effect in all regency/city in West Java. Especially for Bogor Regency, Depok City, Bogor City, and Pangandaran Regency, the variable of the percentage of people poverty does not have a significant effect on the number leper.

The Mean

Poisson regression was used to analyze the count data which Poisson distributed. Poisson regression analysis requires state equidispersion, in which the mean value of the response variable is equal to the value of the variance. However, there are deviations in which the value of the response variable variance is greater than the mean. This is called overdispersion. If overdispersion happens and Poisson Regression analysis is being used, then underestimated standard errors will be obtained. Negative Binomial Regression can handle overdispersion because it contains a dispersion parameter. From the simulation data which experienced overdispersion in the Poisson Regression model it was found that the Negative Binomial Regression was better than the Poisson Regression model.

Poisson regression can be used to model rare events that consist of count data. Poisson regression application is carried out to find out external factors that affect the number of poor people in Indonesia by the province in 2016. The assumptions that must be met in this analysis are equdispersion. However, in real cases there is often a problem of overdispersion, ie the value of the variance is greater than the average value. High diversity can be caused by outliers. Expenditures on outliers have not been able to deal with the problem of overdispersion in Poisson Regression. One way to overcome this problem is to replace the Poisson distribution assumption with the Negative Binomial distribution. The results of the analysis show that the Negative Binomial Regression model without outliers is better than the Poisson Regression without outliers model indicated by a smaller AIC value. Based on the Negative Binomial Regression model without this outlier the external factors that affect the number of poor people in Indonesia by the province in 2016 are the percentage of households with floor conditions of houses with soil by province, population by province, percentage of unemployment to the total workforce by province and the percentage of the workforce against the working age population.

Abstract Objective CD4 Lymphocyte Count (CD4) is a major predictor of HIV progression to AIDS. Exploring the factors affecting CD4 levels may assist healthcare staff and patients in management and monitoring of health cares. This retrospective cohort study aimed to explore factors associated with CD4 cell counts at the time of diagnosis in HIV patients using Poisson, Generalized Poisson, and Negative Binomial regression models. Results Out of 4402 HIV patients diagnosis in Iran from 1987 to 2016, 3030 (68.8%) were males, and the mean age was 34.8 ± 10.4 years. The results indicate that the Negative Binomial model outperformed the other models in terms of AIC, log-likelihood and RMSE criteria. In this model, factors include sex, age, clinical stage and Tuberculosis (TB) co-infection were significantly associated with CD4 count (P < 0.05). Conclusion Given the effect of age, sex, clinical stage and stage of HIV on CD4 count of the patients, adopting policies and strategies to increase awareness and encourage people to seek early HIV testing and care is advantageous.
