Influence Diagnostic Methods in the Poisson Regression Model with the Liu Estimator

Abstract

There is a long history of interest in modeling Poisson regression in different fields of study. The focus of this work is on handling the issues that occur after modeling the count data. For the prediction and analysis of count data, it is valuable to study the factors that influence the performance of the model and the decision based on the analysis of that model. In regression analysis, multicollinearity and influential observations separately and jointly affect the model estimation and inferences. In this article, we focused on multicollinearity and influential observations simultaneously. To evaluate the reliability and quality of regression estimates and to overcome the problems in model fitting, we proposed new diagnostic methods based on Sherman–Morrison Woodbury (SMW) theorem to detect the influential observations using approximate deletion formulas for the Poisson regression model with the Liu estimator. A Monte Carlo method is done for the assessment of the proposed diagnostic methods. Real data are also considered for the evaluation of the proposed methods. Results show the superiority of the proposed diagnostic methods in detecting unusual observations in the presence of multicollinearity compared to the traditional maximum likelihood estimation method.

Geospatial analysis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

“…We measured the effect of T2DM on hypertension using the SR 6 and the GPR models 8 . In this study, we assessed the relationship between the number of T2DM and hypertension cases using the SR analysis as well as the GPR model, where T2DM is set as independent variables and hypertension is the dependent variable.…”

Robust biased estimators for Poisson regression model: Simulation and applications

“…is the number of conceded goals, and x i5 is the number of points earned. The model is not void of multicollinearity since the condition number is 46 employed the DFFITS and some other diagnostic tools to identify observations 1 and 19 as influential point. This is in agreement with Figures 5 and 6.…”

“…The Poisson regression model assumes that the counts follow a Poisson distribution. It is suitable when the mean and variance of the counts are approximately equal [19,20]. The Poisson model can be expressed as:…”
