The Use of Double Poisson Regression for count data in Health and Life Science – a Narrative Review

Introduction: Count data such as days in hospital or sick days is present in many areas of everyday life [ref:1]. Unfortunately, such data often exhibits a right skew in the distribution, i.e. lower count values are more common than higher values. Moreover, they are often characterized by [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
