Abstract

Poisson regression, negative binomial regression, and related regression methods are often used when the response variable is a count. A log transformation often results in a linear model with heterogeneity. Then testing can be done with the one component partial least squares estimator for multiple linear regression, including some high dimensional tests. For prediction, a simple method that uses information from several estimators, is also considered.
