[R] Poisson GLM using non-integer response/predictors?

2011-12-30 Thread Lucy Dablin
Great lists, I always find them useful, thank you to everyone who contributes to them. My question is regarding non-integer values from some data I collected on parrots when using the poisson GLM. I observed the parrots on a daily basis to see if they were affected by tourist presence. My key pr

[R] Poisson GLM with a logged dependent variable...just asking for trouble?

2011-07-01 Thread Mark Na
Dear R-helpers, I'm using a GLM with poisson errors to model integer count data as a function of one non-integer covariate. The model formula is: log(DV) ~ glm(log(IV,10),family=poisson). I'm getting a warning because the logged DV is no longer an integer. I have three questions: 1) Can I igno

I thought that quasipoisson family was used to model overdispersion, since the dispersion parameter isn't fixed at one. Could you please elaborate a little about why quasipoisson is more suitable for this non-integer poisson data? also, is it significant that vcov shows a difference? -- View

Since one method of modeling rates is to use glm(... ,family="poisson") with the observed rate (events/ person_time) on the LHS of the formula and offset=log(expected_rates) on the RHS, I am quite happy that no error is thrown in that situation. Reading old entries in r-help, it appears the

This is a basics beginner question. I attempted fitting a a Poisson GLM to data that is non-integer ( I believe Poisson is suitable in this case, because it is modelling counts of infections, but the data collected are all non-negative numbers with 2 decimal places). My question is, since R does
