Linear Regression Of The Poisson Mean, Duane Steven Brown
Linear Regression Of The Poisson Mean, Duane Steven Brown
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this thesis was to compare two estimation procedures, the method of least squares and the method of maximum likelihood, on sample data obtained from a Poisson distribution. Point estimates of the slope and intercept of the regression line and point estimates of the mean squared error for both the slope and intercept were obtained. It is shown that least squares, the preferred method due to its simplicity, does yield results as good as maximum likelihood.
Also, confidence intervals were computed by Monte Carlo techniques and then were tested for accuracy. For the method of least squares, confidence …

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The analysis of variance was created by Ronald Fisher in 1923. It is most widely used and basically useful approach to study differences among treatment averages.
